    Default Dartford Warbler at Keyhaven

    These are Glen's pics, as I saw it move from bush to bush, but always to behind something, just out of my view.

    Keyhaven was lovely in the sunshine - very warm and with no wind at all!

    (The bird was only about 15 feet away from us, but it was difficult to focus on without a tripod and as the bird kept darting here and there!)

    What a beautiful little bird Catherine, longer beak than I'd imagined as well. Like number four the best.

    It looks almost black - until you see that red eye! That seems to be a male, the female seeming more brownish on the back.

    The breast colour is lovely, not brash red or orange, but the colour of crushed raspberries.

    I was surprised at the length of the beak as well - and the fact that the top bill seemed to curve downwards slightly

    A stunning-looking bird, and my sort of colours (I'm sitting here with a pair of black fingerless gloves on - you can take the girl our of the Goth costume but you can't take the Goth costume out of the girl...). The colouring is very unusual.
    I didn't know of this bird, but it really is a little beauty - and well caught by Glen.

    It's s real beauty, Louise, and one I hope you'll see when you come down here next time! (Milford breakfasts promised!)

    It didn't stay in the same spot for long, so Glen just ran off some continuous shots.

    Your sort of colours, Louise, but please tell me you don't have red eyes like that too!
