Forest of Dean today.

| Treecreeper |
We did the usual spots, near New Fancy View, someone had put some food out. It attracted a good selection of Tits, Finches, Thrushes, Nuthatches, Pied Wagtails, Squirrels, a Sparrowhawk, a flyover Raven and a Great Spotted Woodpecker. Best though was a unusually showy Treecreeper.

Next stop Speech House. Again the usual suspects, and 12+ Redwings in the field by the Hotel and a few Jays knocking about too.
At the Cannop pond feeders, again the usual assortment there too, this time including a Marsh Tit too. The main interest though, for a change was on the pond itself. The usual Mandarins, and the unusual 4 Garganey!!! 3 Drakes trying to get the attention of the one Duck, calling and displaying and not caring that i was stood within 10 feet of them!!!!

Last stop Parkend Church, sadly no Hawfinches this time, but still a decent sized Brambling flock, coming to the feeders in the gardens.
