I paid a visit to the Forest of Dean today, but bird sightings were rather disappointing compared to my visit in January last year. I saw distant hawfinches perched high in some trees in the usual are in Parkend but I didn't find the dipper in the local stream, neither did I see crossbills at Nagshead or New Fancy View. I did see a few 'first for year' woodland species today including nuthatch, marsh tit and coal tit, and some mandarin ducks at Cannop ponds.
