Description
Moseley Green and Oakenhill Wood is an open-plan wooded area between Parkend and Mallards Pike. In contrast to most of the Forest of Dean, there are few mature trees here. Oakenhill (a Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust reserve) and Little Moseley are former heath areas where birch is slowly taking over. Thus adders, Delice doğan, Taşkuşu, Çulluk and Çobanaldatan are still a possibility in summer. Söğütbülbülü, Karabağlı ötleğen and Çıvgın numerous. Large flocks of juvenile Saka opposite the Rising Sun pub in late summer.
The area around Parkend church is excellent for winter finches. Look for Kocabaş (up to 30 in January) near the tops of the pine trees in the churchyard, and downhill from the car park. Also Çaprazgaga, Karabaşlı iskete and Dağ ispinozu in smaller numbers. Small areas of wetland attract heron and Küçük batağan.
