Glos late winter birding



27 Feb - mild and sunny weather, and a successful morning's birding. In the Forest of Dean, 2 Dippers were on the stream below the Fountain Inn at Parkend, and up to 4 Goshawks were seen well in display at New Fancy View. Also there, 3 Ravens, and 2 Siskins and 2 Crossbills flew over.
At Ashleworth Ham, the 4 Whooper Swans were still along Stank Lane (lower pic), and good numbers of duck from the screen included 44 Pintail.
Finally, the Great Grey Shrike at Cirencester was fairly obliging, and I had the camera with me for a record shot (upper pic).
