Descrição

Prees Heath Common was purchased by the charity in 2006, a major restoration project is now well underway to convert 60 acres from airfield/agriculture and re-establish more natural heathland and grassland habitat.

Early summer is a good time to visit when displaying Laverca are abundant, Escrevedeira-amarela is also likely as are finches, Pintarroxo-comum, Cartaxo-comum, etc. Felosa-das-figueiras and Papa-amoras-comum are frequent as well as more common warblers such as Felosa-comum. Ógea has been reported but does not seem particularly frequent, peneireiro-de-dorso-malhado / peneireiro and Águia-d'asa-redonda are more likely.

Detalhes

Acesso

Prees Heath Common is located just south of Whitchurch in north Shropshire, between the A41 and A49 roads. The entire site is open access, so visitors can walk wherever they wish, however paths have been established through regular walking along the edges and up the middle. It is best to stick to these especially in breeding season to protect the ground nesting birds.

There is a small car park indicated on the map, but alternative pay-and-display parking is available at the truckstop just north of the reserve. The fish and chips shop there is also good, achieved a 5 star food hygeine rating in 2022, and has toilets. Press a P on the map for directions to a car park.
