Dartford Warblers are still about but are now flying around in pairs and I can only see 2 pairs. I am very conscious that the breeding season is about to start so I am observing from a distance and rarely stopping. They seem to have little interest in humans or dogs and this individual appeared very close to me as I walked by. Its now half term and a number of schools are close by. The heath will be busier than usual and I am hoping for no fires and minimal disturbance.
This week I saw a group of local school children on a field trip with 4 teachers. As the teacher was talking about the heath, a Dartford Warbler and a Stonechat were singing on the gorse just a few feet away from the them.
None of them noticed!!!
