Having made the arrangements I met up with the man from MLC Services Ltd and we collected three of the dead Mute Swans I posted about Here one off Conder Pool and the other two from the field off Jeremy Lane, these two birds were within a couple of metres of each other. I made the request to be informed of the outcome of the autopsy.
The bad news is that four hours later I found two more dead Mute Swans at Cockersands, these two were also in close proximity to each other....this is all becoming a bit of a mystery about eight dead Mute Swans I found within about two miles.

I got in a decent 5 hours today, but my blogging allowance is out of time and the 'Seen Anything Interesting' post will have to wait. Meanwhile....

We had a first record in our garden this morning when I saw briefly what I at first thought was a Wren disappearing into the ivy - the bird visits us often - but it soon revealed itself to be the UK's smallest bird....a Goldcrest.

I decided to give our man Bob Bushell at 'Birds and Nature in the Forest Of Dean and Beyond' a plug, so....Here It Is
The Mute Swans are more obviously so on a 'clik the pik' and the Goldcrest and Waxwing are both even bigger gems too.
