Opis

Bredon Hill's height and relative isolation makes it a beacon for migrating birds. Alongside this Bredon Hill as a wide range of habitats from Orchards to Woodlands to Farmland resulting in a range of scarce breeding birds. During the winter it can become a hostile and exposed site especially around the submit. However, some birds do choose to winter here especially on the sheltered slopes. Resident species that remain during the winter include sikora uboga, kląskawka, kania ruda and kowalik. Other species including jer, krzyżodziób świerkowy, kwiczoł and droździk can also be found in number during the winter. Rarer species that have visited duirng this time include uszatka błotna, drzemlik, błotniak zbożowy and srokosz .

As it gets towards the end of March and the start of April the first spring migrants arrive starting with białorzytka. Bredon Hill offers one of the best and most reliable places in the area for drozd obrożny with double figures most years. Other scarcer migrant species include pokląskwa, kopciuszek and muchołówka żałobna. Bredon Hill also is one of the best locations for mornel though these aren't annual. Spring rarities have included błotniak łąkowy, kulon (zwyczajny), przepiórka and kania czarna.

Breeding species that arrive in the spring include pleszka, świergotek drzewny, gajówka and muchołówka szara. Other common breeders include trznadel, świergotek łąkowy and skowronek. The autumn migration is much like the Spring and again drozd obrożnys are the target for most. Rarer species recorded in the autumn include grubodziób, śnieguła and even a białorzytka pstra!
