Abstract:The Spectacled Warbler is the characteristic small bird of the Salicornia areas of the Camargue, where the following notes on early breeding behaviour were made in April 1937 and 1938. Its status in this region was for some time in doubt (1), but the confusion between it and the Dartford Warbler (Sylvia undata Bodd.) has now been without possible question cleared up by the late Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain (2), and the observations of recent visitors have thoroughly confirmed this opinion(3), (4).
