Hi, just joined and hoping to visit tomorrow. Do I need a physical key or just the access codes?

Where is the best chance of seeing an osprey?

Thanks,

Mick

apologies if this is the wrong place. i tried the red route last year and it was impassable at the bridge. I’d like to try again. Does anyone know if the bridge has now been repaired? TIA nick

Here are some pictures from my recent visits to Blithfield, including my first ever Osprey.

Just to follow up on some of the interactions over the weekend regarding parking opposite the Cottages. I have spoken to the householder this morning who had subsequently read through the Land Registry documents after some email discussions yesterday and now recognises that he has access to but not ownership (which is what his understanding was) of the lay-by.

The householder was very apologetic and wished me to pass that apology onto any members he spoke to over the weekend and also to say how polite, calm and respectful members were. The householder has been there three weeks and I guess with the great weather, ring necked ducks and not being clear on the situation understandably caused his frustration.

To confirm from my precious posts parking in P2 is allowed

With best regards Mark

I am looking for some advice on the correction position for the P2 parking location. I have parked at what I believed was P2 a couple of times, but today I was told off by a resident.

He said words to the effect that it was his parking space and a private road and I shouldn't be parked there. He let me stay for this visit, but was very clear that I should never park there again.

I have attached a close up of the map I downloaded from the WMBC website and an image from What Three Words (input.inflation.snipped) that pinpoint where I am talking about. If this 'layby' type area is not P2, can anyone advise where it is? If you could use What Three Words, that would be great, as it is so specific to an exact area.

There was another birder parked up a bit further…

Hi guys. With the Bhg colonies starting to increase please keep an eye out for any colour ringed birds especially Red rings. These would most likely be from Belvide ringers scheme 2018/19. Any ring sightings would be great. We already have several returning birds inc 25F2 -21N3-23L3-26FO-22N6-24N6. Kindest regards Foz.
