We went for a weekend at the very end of April to the Forest of Dean. We had hopes of seeing a goshak from the viewing platform theyhave set up there. We did see buzzards over the tree canopy but sadly none of the elusive Goshawks which Richard alone has seen in the New Forest historically.
We did get the chance however to photograph the beautiful Mandarin Ducks which have set up a small feral colony on the lakes there. This us such a pretty bird. As we walked round the lake in the Spring sunshine – I have got some excellent close up shots of a Raven. These magnificent birds seem to be getting more common and widespread over the last ten years or so.
