Just back from a week away in the Forest of Dean with my grandson with limited birding opportunities as the week was geared around ensuring he had a good time.
I added a few year ticks with
Ravens in the garden of our cottage and I twitched the
Yellow-browed Warbler a couple of miles from where we stayed and found my first
Chiffchaff there too. I dipped on the Glossy Ibis at Newport but did manage to pick up the
Red-rumped Swallow with
Swallow and
Sand Martin at Cmw Ivy whilst on my way down to Rossilli in search of
Chough where I found a group of eight feeding by the coastguards hut at Worms Head. I had great views of several Goshawk at New Fancy and another single bird whilst walking at Mallard Pike. Hawfinch and Crossbill were seen but only as fly overs.
Year list now 169
