Descripción
The Bittell Reservoirs are located in the north-east corner of Worcestershire and consist of Upper Bittell and the smaller Lower Bittell which are linked by a small wooded stream. Fishing occurs on both reservoirs with sailing only on Upper Bittell, leaving Lower Bittell relatively undisturbed. The area is attractive to wildfowl and gulls, especially during winter while the spring and autumn passage periods bring terns and a wide variety of waders.
In the winter months you can see Porrón Osculado and Serreta Grande. Scarcer visitors include Porrón Bastardo, Serreta Chica and Serreta Mediana and sometimes divers and the scarcer grebes. The spring and autumn migration can bring terns like Fumarel Común and Charrán ártico. Provided the water levels at Upper Bittell are favourable then a range of waders can occur like Correlimos Común, Chorlitejo Chico and Archibebe Claro. Also scarcer species like Correlimos Tridáctilo, Correlimos Gordo, Vuelvepiedras Común and Correlimos Menudo and rarities can sometimes show up.
