A rare bird that was previously on the brink of extinction in the UK is making a comeback, surveys have shown.

The Dartford warbler suffered from a population crash in the 1960s, leaving only a few pairs in Dorset.

The latest national surveys have revealed a 44% increase in the species in the past five years, with 264 pairs counted in 2025.
