Description
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 Avocette élégante and wintering Courlis cendré, plus many more species that might show up on spring and autumn passage. Regulars include Chevalier guignette, Chevalier culblanc, Grand Gravelot, Bécasseau variable, Chevalier aboyeur and Barge à queue noire. Rarer species include Combattant varié, Bécasseau sanderling, Tournepierre à collier, Barge rousse, Courlis corlieu, Chevalier sylvain Bécasseau minute and Bécasseau cocorli. Even Bécasseau minuscule, Phalarope de Wilson, Phalarope à bec étroit, Échasse blanche, Bécasseau tacheté, Bécasseau de Temminck and Ibis falcinelle have occurred. A pair of Panure à moustaches were seen in November 2019. A Faucon pèlerin is often present and may be seen perching on one of the radio masts.
The Moors Pool attracts more wildfowl and has breeding Sterne pierregarin, Huîtrier pie, Rousserolle effarvatte, Phragmite des joncs, Bouscarle de Cetti and Bruant des roseaux. Faucon hobereau is present in summer and passage may bring Busard des roseaux, Balbuzard pêcheur and Guifette noire, while one or two Butor étoilé might appear in winter.
Both areas have breeding Petit Gravelot, Vanneau huppé and Chevalier gambette, as well as Bécassine des marais and Bécassine sourde in winter. Also, the Mouette rieuse roosts may feature a Mouette mélanocéphale or a Mouette pygmée and have even hosted Mouette atricille and Mouette de Franklin in the past.

Accès
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.
