    Bobbington Bunds and Gothersley Flashes

    Only my second visit in 8 months and now i know why..... The 'flashes' fields at Gothersley need seasonal inundation from an overflowing Smestow Brook and this has not happened so the result is no water. Flash flooding from the road can be impressive but is soon dissipated. I carried on past...

    Got the required info re: Little Egret:t: Just some shots of the Heronry with a bird just returning with food and a Buzzard - the latter was a large individual judging by the puny Jackdaws attempting to mob it so presume a female... Laurie:t:

    There you go - as i predicted in a Marty McFly style;) 1. Have they nested since? 2. Did they nest with Greys. 3. Have they nested elsewhere in the West Mids region? It is easier to ask you than sift thru Google👍🏻 Thanks in advance Phil - Laurie -

    Bobbington Bunds and Gothersley Flashes

    First visit since the last one;) I didn’t cycle as far as the bunds as i know the water levels are back up and unless we have another good period of dry weather like last year The Mere is unlikely to be as productive:C The Flashes at Gothersley are just damp ground at present. They only become...

    The Mere is going through a Purple patch at the moment with 3 Little Egrets and a Greenshank reported ystda plus a Green Sand. My planned cycle run over yesterday afternoon had to be shelved due to other issues:C which is a tad annoying... Overnight rain should have grounded a range of species...

    Bobbington Bunds and Gothersley Flashes

    In an effort to find new patches and to extend my cycling away from my local WestMids/Worcs bits i did a bit of Google Mapping and came up with a 25-30 mile round trip incorporating bits of water that are seasonal in appearance in the case of the flashes and variable in the case of the bunds...
