I’m aware this is not a club reserve but can anyone please suggest how to find them and where to access the footpath through them. How far away from Branston Water Park are they?

If you think you could help with WeBS surveys at Blithfield it would be great to hear from you. We currently have a member who is doing the surveys but it would be really handy to have a few more volunteers to help share the work and cover the key areas of the reservoir to ensure we get the most accurate count we can. If you would like to hear more about these important roles that will contribute to improving the habitat at Blithfield please give me a call - with best regards Mark

Just wanted to say hi to people, 👋
I came across Belvide Reserve yesterday on my return home from Telford to Tamworth, and a quick Google brought me here, and I purchased a membership.
My wife and I are new to birding and normally visit Middleton Lakes as it's closest to us.
We're looking forward to visiting the various reserves. If there are any major do's or don'ts, please do let me know, as I wouldn't want to break any rules - as i said were new to all of this.
Look forward to meeting some of you.
Thanks
Hi Ben and Faye. The only advice on visiting Belvide is to stay on the obvious paths. Some of our ringing areas and openings to the shorelines look inviting but are strictly no access. Hopefully see you one day there and message me if there’s any thing you need to know regarding Belvide. Best wishes Foz @BelvideBirda
