Forest of Dean

Our second day in the forest was spent rowing for nine miles along the Wye between Kerne Bridge and Symonds Yat in a four-seater Canadian Canoe. Great fun, but surprisingly not much wildlife was seen apart from a few more Mandarin Ducks, though a distant accipiter looked reasonable for Goshawk.

Afterwards we gave Speech House a quick try, and found Nuthatches, followed by another short and fruitless search at New Fancy View.
