Beschrijving
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 Kluut and wintering Wulp, plus many more species that might show up on spring and autumn passage. Regulars include Oeverloper, Witgat, Bontbekplevier, Bonte Strandloper, Groenpootruiter and Grutto. Rarer species include Kemphaan, Drieteenstrandloper, Steenloper, Rosse Grutto, Regenwulp, Bosruiter Kleine Strandloper and Krombekstrandloper. Even Kleinste Strandloper, Grote Franjepoot, Grauwe Franjepoot, Steltkluut, Gestreepte Strandloper, Temmincks Strandloper and Zwarte Ibis have occurred. A pair of Baardman were seen in November 2019. A Slechtvalk is often present and may be seen perching on one of the radio masts.
The Moors Pool attracts more wildfowl and has breeding Visdief, Scholekster, Kleine Karekiet, Rietzanger, Cetti's Zanger and Rietgors. Boomvalk is present in summer and passage may bring Bruine Kiekendief, Visarend and Zwarte Stern, while one or two Roerdomp might appear in winter.
Both areas have breeding Kleine Plevier, Kievit and Tureluur, as well as Watersnip and Bokje in winter. Also, the Kokmeeuw roosts may feature a Zwartkopmeeuw or a Dwergmeeuw and have even hosted Lachmeeuw and Franklins Meeuw in the past.

Toegang
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.
