Descrizione
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 Quattrocchi and Smergo maggiore. Scarcer visitors include Moretta grigia, Pesciaiola and Smergo minore and sometimes divers and the scarcer grebes. The spring and autumn migration can bring terns like Mignattino comune and Sterna codalunga. Provided the water levels at Upper Bittell are favourable then a range of waders can occur like Piovanello pancianera, Corriere piccolo and Pantana. Also scarcer species like Piovanello tridattilo, Piovanello maggiore, Voltapietre and Gambecchio comune and rarities can sometimes show up.
