I almost choked on my lunch on Wednesday when I received a text from Upton Warren warden John Belsey that a Red-necked Grebe had been located on the Moors Pool. I had to endure another three hours before leaving work to head down the M5.
It was a mega twitch for Worcestershire with an estimated 150-200 people calling in to Worcestershire's premier reserve to catch up with the Grebe which was the first for the site. Red-necked Grebes are scarce winter visitors to the UK so to see the bird in summer plumage at my local reserve was a real treat. It was great to see the hides full of people enjoying the wildlife. Will the site attract another rarity this weekend as the all dayer is hosted ?
