Forest of Dean (4 Viewers)

The last time i was as wet as on Sunday was when i went swimming the other week
It was persisting it down.
I should have waited round really, someone did predict the bird to me earlier in the day, i should have listened :-(

Oops missed out the quote i was given.

"There will be a turn in this weather this afternoon"

Sorry this is a bit late - just got back from a week's hols today.

We live on Tidenham Chase - never seen Goshawks here. Some large tit flocks through the pines to the North of the heath and a few crossbills recently too. It's also a very reliable place for Nightjars in season. A partnership of conservation bodies are restoring a once forested area back to lowland heath which together with another heathland, Poors Allotment on the Eastern side of the main road will hopefuly start to pull in a greater variety of birds over time.

Another exciting develoment here has been the discovery and excavation of Miss Grace's Lane Cave over the last few years - in an area where the experts said the limsetone was unsuitable for cave development. The cave is now over 3km in length.

Any other cavers on BF?

Regards

Denis
