Description
Upton country park is a good area for more widespread species of bird, but if you observe close enough you may be able to see species you may not have expected. Upton country park is a great place to see Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Eurasian Green Woodpecker. Upton country park is also right next to Holes bay which is a good area for waders such as Black-tailed Godwit, Common Greenshank and even the occasional Avocet can be spotted here. The park also has both Eurasian Treecreeper and Eurasian Nuthatch.
