With a long series of mild winters in the heathlands of SE England, the populations of Dartford Warblers have done really well. However, with the recent ‘arctic’ cold snaps (the Beast and the Mini-Beast from the East), I wonder if there’s been a serious adverse impact. During the intervening spell of milder weather, I had a couple of walks over Suffolk heathlands where, in recent years, I’ve regularly heard and seen Dartford Warblers in March. This year there was neither sight nor sound! I may have just missed them, but I'm fearing not.
Anyone else got recent experiences (or lack of) to share?

PS The same story, in a different environment, might hold for Cetti’s Warbler.
