A fledgling Dartford Warbler spotted

Horsell Common
On 3 May 2025, a fledgling Dartford Warbler was spotted learning how to fly amongst the heather on Horsell Common.

This species is classified as ‘near-threatened’, and as it is ground-nesting, it is incredibly vulnerable to roaming dogs.

Please help HCPS protect these beautiful creatures by keeping ‘paws on paths’, and not allowing dogs to wander off into the heather. 

The conservation efforts of the heather have resulted in these creatures having more places to call home.
