Upton Warren getting ready for spring

With a couple of days off for half term I took advantage of the lads wanting to play basketball in Bromsgrove for an hour to drop in at Upton Warren. 

The team at the site are undertaking plenty of projects ahead of the breeding season including the introduction on some new channels for Bitterns, a new look North Moors Pool with new hide (not built yet) and the path to the west hide has been resurfaced. 

After a quick look at the ongoing work on the North Moors I walked down to the West Hide for a good scan. Two newly arrived Oystercatcher were on the islands along with fourteen Shelduck, Grey Heron and Cormorant.

Other highlights included two Bullfinch, six Reed Bunting, 14 Shoveler and Teal.

Let's hope all the hard work results in a couple of rarities turning up there.
