There’s a field trip to Forest of Dean next week, on Thurs 29th Feb. Meet 10 a.m. in the New Fancy View car park north of Parkend. Follow the B4231 up from Lydney then head north to where indicated on the map. The car park is on the right about 500m after you turn left off the road that runs up from Parkend.
As usual, please let me know if you intend coming. I am unlikely to do any pickups from St Margaret’s Road due to traffic between Penarth and there. John Wilson – johndw1948 at gmail dot com

As usual we hope for Goshawk & Hawfinch, Marsh Tit, Mandarin and dare I say Lesser Spotted Woodpecker? Haven’t had one there for years……
