Descripción

The Christopher Cadbury Wetland Reserve at Upton Warren may be small but it boasts a wide variety of birds, particularly waders. It's divided into two parts by a boating lake, with the Moors Pool to the north and The Flashes to the south, with 2 branches of the River Salwarpe running through it.

The Flashes has breeding Avoceta Común and wintering Zarapito Real, plus many more species that might show up on spring and autumn passage. Regulars include Andarríos Chico, Andarríos Grande, Chorlitejo Grande, Correlimos Común, Archibebe Claro and Aguja Colinegra. Rarer species include Combatiente, Correlimos Tridáctilo, Vuelvepiedras Común, Aguja Colipinta, Zarapito Trinador, Andarríos Bastardo Correlimos Menudo and Correlimos Zarapitín. Even Correlimos Menudillo, Falaropo Tricolor, Falaropo Picofino, Cigüeñuela común, Correlimos Pectoral, Correlimos de Temminck and Morito Común have occurred. A pair of Bigotudo were seen in November 2019. A Halcón Peregrino is often present and may be seen perching on one of the radio masts.

The Moors Pool attracts more wildfowl and has breeding Charrán Común, Ostrero Euroasiático, Carricero Común, Carricerín Común, Cetia Ruiseñor and Escribano Palustre. Alcotán Europeo is present in summer and passage may bring Aguilucho Lagunero Occidental, Águila Pescadora and Fumarel Común, while one or two Avetoro Común might appear in winter.

Both areas have breeding Chorlitejo Chico, Avefría Europea and Archibebe Común, as well as Agachadiza común and Agachadiza Chica in winter. Also, the Gaviota Reidora roosts may feature a Gaviota Cabecinegra or a Gaviota Enana and have even hosted Gaviota Guanaguanare and Gaviota Pipizcan in the past.

Accesso

By car: Take the M5 and leave at junction 5, taking the A38 going north through Wychbold and the village of Upton Warren. When you reach the roundabout, take the third exit into the two car parks by the boating lake (signposted Aztec Adventure).

The Flashes car park (on the right) closes at 8 p.m. in summer and 4 p.m. in winter. The Moors car park is always open. Permits costing £3 per person, are required for entry into the reserve for non-members of the Wildlife Trust, and these can be bought from the cafe by the boating lake. The entrance to the Flashes is at the other end of the lake and the entrance for the Moors Pool is further up the A38.
