Teesdale, County Durham

The day after visiting Durham University, we took the opportunity to visit some places we'd visited a year ago, as well as exploring some new ones. We saw some fantastic birds!

Forest of Dean

A selection of photos from the area around Speech House Hotel. We were directed to a good place to see Nightjars and were not disappointed - we had about five showings of 2-3 Nighjars and at least ten showing of Woodcock flying over!
