With the weather improving slightly, I have been trying to make the most of it all! I managed to have a sometime of work to get out with my brother however, we seemed to have chosen the week with probably the worst of the weather! After surviving the 40mph gusts at RPSB Ham Wall and the rain at New Fancy Viewpoint in the Forest of Dean and visited Cannop Ponds a few times too! Cannop ponds was a good time being able to feet away from birds at a feeding station to seeing a few new ones going to a more visited place for me from now on!

Well, the weather was not helping at all! It seems that February has been the wettest one we have ever seen! Flood plains covered, roads closed. But this doesn’t stop nature! It adapts! So, over the course of this month, we have been scheduling visits around the rain!

I think all of us have been there at some point in our time watching wildlife — and if you’re one of the lucky few who hasn’t, well… enjoy it while it lasts.
