yes there is plenty of the correct habitat around the forest of dean.You may want to do some research though,because the forest is a very large area.Ive been over a few times this year and keep getting lost  . |

Managed to add 4 species this weekend to my year list- bringing it to 124 species.
Yesterday added Red Kite, Oriental Turtle Dove + Brambling while today added Stonechat locally.
Looking forward to all those spring migrants that'll start pouring through soon. |

You're all doing very well. I haven't reached 100 yet although I have seen several species that I didn't manage at all last year including two new life ticks, brambling and twite.
