There was no birdwatching or nature watching, it was my sons 18th birthday. And, it took priority. He was delighted with the trip to have a meal at the Rising Sun at Moseley Green. The food was really good, and I said, compliments to the chef. The beer was good, though I didn't drink more than half pint. My son, he likes to become a musical or producing that sort thing. He is very good, which coming from me is perfection. He likes Neil Young, say no more!!!!!!!!

Meadow Pipit (The Marshes, Lydney)

The Meadow Pipit was a long distance to get a photo, but I attempted, though it was reasonably bad, I thought about it, so I let it go anyway. There were Redwings, Fieldfares, Common Redpolls and Lesser Redpolls.

Marsh Tit (New Fancy View)

I heard through bird guides, that a Great Grey Shrike was up here at the same time I was here, how could I have miss it????????????????

Flowers on a London Bus (Lydney)

I had to show you this one, how bizarre!

Green Woodpecker at New Fancy View

Apart from the Green Woodpecker, there was a Hawfinch, it came near enough to get some shots, and pretty good they are, with my humble camera and lens.
