Hello Tommy

I`ve seen Dartford warblers at The Arne RSPB. Only place I`ve seen Lesser spotted woodpecker is Yarner wood on Dartmoor.

Welcome to the forum.

Maybe worth a detour to Sherwood forest on the way to get LS Woodpecker? Not too far off the M1, also good chance to pick up Hawfinch

Can't recommend specific sights but the gorse heath to west of New Forest should be good for Dartford Warbler.

Hi Tommy and a warm welcome from me too. I saw Dartford Warbler at Arne, but it was a few years ago. Never seen LSW here yet, though I do have hopes LOL

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.
