I was unaware of this place until shown it by well-known Staffordshire birder, Dave Scattergood on a day last month when it rained torrentially and continually. I was, therefore, looking forward to a visit with (hopefully) some sunshine. In the event, the sun was sporadic, but I did have a great visit, with Bewick's Swan, Grey Partridge, Corn Bunting, Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer, Siskin, Tree-Sparrow, Grey Plover, Lapwing, Buzzard and Kestrel all being seen. Most were not photographed or only record shots obtainable, but this has now become one of my favourite local sites.
