    It's only belvide you need a permit for, aqualate is open access. The site near Worcester may be Upton warren? Only been there once years ago! Think it is a pretty good site though. Struggling to think of other local spots to recommend as I tend to do most my birding all over the country...

    I hope so! It's very exposed at the top of that bank! And having a dodgy knee, the walk/slide back down is not worth the risk most the time!

    I'm not sure if we can still view from here, as new instructions have appeared this autumn, but last winter I viewed from driving past the landfill entrance( coming from horsehay), to the end of the bushes, park carefully, and climb up the(usually slippy!) bank to view through the fence. But I'm...

    does anyone know what the future access plans to allscott/mire lake are? is it going to still be permit only or be made more public after the beet factory closing down?

    Probably a week or two too early for pied fly/wood warbler/redstart at the wrekin/ercall but with luck you could find lesser spotted woodpecker there and red kite is an outside possibility. Prioslee lake off j4 of the m54 can also be good (reliable-ish willow tits for example).
