🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨   It was a record year in 2025 for the much-loved Dartford Warbler as 264 pairs were recorded on our nature reserves. That’s a 44% increase in just 5 years!   This is fantastic news for a species that was almost on the brink of extinction, as their numbers have undergone population crashes due to harsh winters.   But thanks to the vital support from our members, we’ve been able to carry out effective heathland restoration and management. Which now means that the unmistakeable sound of the Dartford Warbler can be heard rising through the gorse once more 💚   #dartfordwarbler #rspb #goodnewsfornature
