The Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata), is a typical warbler from the warmer parts of western Europe, and northwestern Africa. Its breeding range lies west of a line from southern England to the heel of Italy. The Dartford Warbler is usually resident all-year in its breeding range, but there is some limited migration.
