No mate, just off Green lane before Severn beach

The hole place is a nature reserve mate done most of my early days lamping etc down there growing up the ici and all along the foreshore road was just lifting with hares back then, my misses used to live just down from the pub on the traffic lights with the river and old rifle range behind her house, it saddens me quite a bit travelling along there now seeing it all being flattened for warehouses when we had so many good memory’s down there

You are literally 2/3 miles from my house mate still a few hares around down there and an abundance of deer the tail photo was taken just along the foreshore from you the vulture is clearly close to you and the badger was found behind the King Billy so keep your eyes peeled

Perhaps I’m wrong then mate and it’s just a non binary chaffinch .I’ve a pic on the phone off my lumix camera but enlarging it just makes it shite .It was with a few sparrows and Starlings .

I’ll try resize it to suit our discerning birders lol.

Lol Might have gone too far resizing it .Looks ok  in edit though .

Greater white throat, greater spotted woodpecker and another kingfisher last evening, went back to the wood my daughter got the long eared owl but no luck, other daughter is on here way to puffin island as we speak think she may pick up a few trump cards there, gotta fit a new gearbox for the lad this morning so may do a foreshore sweep later see what waders we can get

Is it a known long reared owl roost Paul .

I had a go in local woodland not a great success 

[forest of dean redneck 11,752]

So detoured round to some farmland 

not to sure on the quail ?? 
only thing I feel is I’m going to be more inclined to keep looking at my phone instead of what’s around me ?

I just looked up from it to see a fox carrying something dart across the track if I hadn’t been looking at the quail symbol I might of actually been closer to it when it crossed .
