Our final full day of our holiday so we decided to get up early & see if we could catch another glimpse of the Wild Boar.<br />
<br />
So we headed into the hide & waited......<br />
<br />
Grey Wagtail, Robin, Redstart, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Nuthatch, Blackbird, Blackcap & Mallard with young were all showing well.<br />
<br />
Then a rustle in the ferns behind the pond caught our attention. An adult Wild Boar came into view walking left to right out of the ferns & past a tree before heading back into thick ferns.<br />
<br />
A great way to finish a fabulous holiday.<br />

The first full holiday of our trip & we met up with Rob & Scott from <a href="http://www.ukwbt.org/">UK Wild Boar Trust</a> early on Sunday to take us on a walk hopefully to get a glimpse of a Wild Boar.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We had a great 4 hour plus walk & picked up some great tips & knowledge about the Wild Boar & the other flora & fauna of the Forest of Dean.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Despite all the signs we didn't get to see any wild boar, but we did see lots of Common Frogs as well as Common Buzzard & Fallow Deer.</div>

With the wonderful weather predicted Mrs Y, <a href="http://themightywhaler.blogspot.com/">Noddle</a> & I decided to get up early & take a trip down to <a href="http://www.rspb.org.uk/reserves/guide/b/blacktoftsands/index.aspx" target="_blank">Blacktoft Sands</a> RSPB reserve.<br />
