Chiffchaff (The Marshes, Lydney)

They sing until they have become a little hoarse.

Holly Blue butterfly (Unused Canal, Lydney)

The Holly Blue is one of finest, little and it is hard to find. Camouflage, that's what I call it.

Tufted Duck (male) in Harbour Road, Lydney.

I was lucky today, because the owner of the clean water in the gravel pits, he had left the gate unlocked. So, I began to take advantage of it, and why not, it should have been for everyone. Shhhhh, don't tell him!!!!!!!!!!!
