The Sheep are at liberty in the Forest of Dean, until later!!!!!!!!!!! When you visit the Forest of Dean, you will be sure to see lots of sheep roaming around the forest and the roads. This is due to an ancient right bestowed upon foresters from Norman times. The right applies to people born within the Hundred of St. Briavels (effectively anywhere in the forest). The sheep keepers, known locally as "Sheep Badgers" simply turn their sheep out to graze. They are visited very regularly, and you may be fortunate to see one of the Badgers working with his sheepdogs.

The Chaffinch is one of most popular spring songsters, it is one of the most breeding species. In the winter, they are joined by a lot more that come the northern and eastern regions of Europe.They build a nest in the forked branches of trees, and decorating it to make it stronger, and it may last for 12 years.

Carrion Crows will eating anything, gamebirds eggs or the slice of bread. It moves from the tips to the shore. They make a noise which is like its name. But it has to live!

Tarri. (R.I.P)

Tarri was the best dog you ever could meet, kind and sharing of things. She used to come everywhere with me, birdwatching, butterflies, dragonflies and everything that nature holds.

I had her from 8 weeks to now at the great old age of 16. People everywhere that saw her as a caring dog, she used to run alongside me, (me on the scooter), and did lot of miles.

I love mushrooms, but not this one. It is a Bracket fungus, at least I think it is. I photographed this one at Parkend.
