Description
Hill Court Farm and Blacklands nature reserve has grazing marshes, wetlands and wildlife-friendly farmland. There are three different viewing screens and one permissive path. NOTE: during Winter this site can be flooded. During Spring and Summer, the grassland, woodland and hedges becomes alive with breeding Alouette des champs, Bruant des roseaux, Pipit farlouse, Pouillot véloce and Coucou gris, Brown Hares, multiple different butterfly species and swathes of wildflowers. The scrape holds breeding Vanneau huppé, Petit Gravelot and Courlis cendré. Also during this time, Hirondelle rustique, Hirondelle de fenêtre, Aigrette garzette, Héron cendré and numerous gull species come to drink, bath and feed around the scrape. During Spring migration, very small numbers of Sarcelle d'été can occasionally turn up.
In Autumn, the occasional passage migrant such as Chevalier culblanc, can pass through. During Winter, large flocks of over 1,000 Vanneau huppé gather at the scrape, as well as hundreds of Pluvier doré. Also, large numbers of Canard siffleur, Sarcelle d'hiver, Canard colvert and Canard souchet can be seen. This site is one of the best nature reserves in Worcestershire for wintering Canard pilet, with up to 300 induviduals being recorded in some years. Scarcer species recorded during Winter include Bécassine des marais, Bécasse des bois, Grèbe castagneux, Faucon émerillon and Busard des roseaux.

There is a small layby situated on Marsh Road at the main entrance of the reserve. This can take around 4 cars at a time though there is barely ever that many cars parked there. Click on the P in the map for directions. After you have parked, the main path down into the reserve is well marked and simple to follow. The path is about 700 meters long.
