PIED WHEATEAR in SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE



The first-winter female PIED WHEATEAR discovered by survey worker Daryl Spittle at Oldbury-on-Severn was still present today, affording 'crippling' views as it flitted between buildings at the Thornbury Yacht Club (ST 600 929). The bird is particularly confiding and very photogenic and was being admired by a constant procession of visitors today.

DIRECTIONS: From the A38 parallel with the M5, follow signposts to Thornbury and then Oldbury-on-Severn. Once in the village, turn sharply left into Church Road and park sensibly opposite the Anchor Inn. From here, follow the entrance road to Thornbury Yacht Club, where, after just over half a mile walk, is positioned next to the sea wall (see the map above)
