Forest Spring

Visiting Nagshead RSPB is always a highlight of a visit to the parents in the Forest of Dean. As well as seeing the parents, of course. Only one Pied Flycatcher was back on territory and I could find no Redstarts despite many being reported on the south coast in recent days. Too early for Wood Warbler, but not for Cuckoo, with one being heard and seen from New Fancy View. Back at Nagshead, Blackcap (top) and Chiffchaff (below) were in full song.
