Descrizione
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 Avocetta and wintering Chiurlo maggiore, plus many more species that might show up on spring and autumn passage. Regulars include Piro piro piccolo, Piro piro culbianco, Corriere grosso, Piovanello pancianera, Pantana and Pittima reale. Rarer species include Combattente, Piovanello tridattilo, Voltapietre, Pittima minore, Chiurlo piccolo, Piro piro boschereccio Gambecchio comune and Piovanello comune. Even Gambecchio americano, Falaropo di Wilson, Falaropo beccosottile, Cavaliere d'Italia, Piovanello pettorale, Gambecchio nano and Mignattaio have occurred. A pair of Basettino were seen in November 2019. A Falco pellegrino is often present and may be seen perching on one of the radio masts.
The Moors Pool attracts more wildfowl and has breeding Sterna comune, Beccaccia di mare, Cannaiola, Forapaglie comune, Usignolo di fiume and Migliarino di palude. Lodolaio is present in summer and passage may bring Falco di palude, Falco pescatore and Mignattino comune, while one or two Tarabuso might appear in winter.
Both areas have breeding Corriere piccolo, Pavoncella and Pettegola, as well as Beccaccino and Frullino in winter. Also, the Gabbiano comune roosts may feature a Gabbiano corallino or a Gabbianello and have even hosted Gabbiano sghignazzante and Gabbiano di Franklin 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.
