    Verns Excellent Pipit Photo Had not seen this photo until tonight when Stu86 phoned me. Whilst I had not called it myself and after consulting messrs Harris/Tucker & Vinicombe, I have to agree that Rock Pipit looks favourable. For me, it's the buff outer tail feathers (white on mipit) and...

    Upton's First Nightingale Whoever located the bird first deserves a medal. If this is the bird from the all-dayer, I recall JTB driving down the track to the East hide on the Moors and flashing his lights to get our attention. Apart from the first all-dayer in 1991? I have not arrived any...

    CROFTY SENIOR HAS VAN TROUBLE As unimaginable as Ronnie O'Sullivan not attending the Snooker World Championships at The Crucible, it would seem that former Upton-hero, Stuart Croft may miss this year's all-dayer as he has broken down on the M5, junction 17 - the prognosis of the...

    LISTS, LISTS, LISTS.... I hope the viewers don't think we're obsessed with who has seen how many more birds than anybody else, it's all just harmless fun (at Upton Warren at least). However, the beauty of a little bit of friendly rivalry and banter is that it may just make you think about...

    I Knew It Couldn't Last.... OMG!! - WHAT AN ABSOLUTE STONKING DAY AT THE MECCA!! CONGRATULATIONS DAVE!! As Jon say's, it's well deserved mate, I know you've put in some serious hours over the years. We will have a roll of honour on the all-dayer where i will officially hand over my top...

    Potential At The Moors This is an excellent suggestion and should open that corner nicely. The work carried out by all the "Tuesday-crew" has been superb thus far, but there is still so much un-tapped potential, it's just a real shame that we don't have carte blanche to speed things up...

    That takes the everyday Upton cake to a whole new level. Perhaps you can put in an order if we manage to get to the east coast John?

    'MINI ALL-DAYER TOMORROW' Tomorrow may well just be hot and tedious, but as I may not be able to make the September all-dayer, I'm striking out for some early Autumn glory, with an early start at The Moors tomorrow. I believe JTB will be covering the Flashes so he and I expect to wrap up the...

    Autumn All-dayer The "24 hour" reference originated from the first Spring all-dayer we did back in 1990/91 (Wheatearlrp/Upstarts 1979 will confirm date) Some of the lads stayed true to the 24 hour ethos and birded from midnight on the Friday to midnight on the Saturday, raising a fair few...

    Hello Gladys Good to see your photos on the forum at last Gladys - it's fantastic seeing the younger-generation showing an interest - they are the Forgetful Elephants and Upstarts of the future, afterall Assuming this is the same Gladys that shared her lollipops on the all-dayer, can you...

    GREAT PHOTOS & GREAT SOUNDTRACKS OF THE 70s Love the comparison shots of the Ringy & LRP - I assume this was taken from the lower Flashes hide? Despite the criticism the hide has received, we have some truly great picture, with features like leg-colour, perspective and size-comparison showing...

    A Very Brief Visit Possibly my shortest visit ever to Upton, due to the accompanying 9 year old daughter who's upset stomach caused a sharp exit (that's another story) (Phil, it will happen to you in 5 or 6 years mate!) Still, managed to actually see my first sedge warbler of the year and also...

    NEW HIDE*****NEW HIDE****** I know there's a lot of ill feeling about this and I totally understand everybody's frustration and anger but we really need to move on. We have a new hide, it will be open soon, and I can guarantee everybody, that when we're sat in there come the spring, watching...

    moors v flashes Whilst the two distinct areas are all part of the 'mecca', I wonder how people feel about the two sides of the reserve. . B (:John Bit like Predator v Alien, City v United, Simon v Garfunkel, Ali v Foreman.....both giants in their own categories. Even though the Moors was...

    Upton Forever Happy New Year to one and all! As the years, actually the decades, pass by, Upton seems to continually bring joy to many of us lucky enough to have discovered this little gem of a reserve. In a time of austerity, financial uncertainty and the everyday worries and stresses of life...

    I Love Upton [At the Moors highlights were: Little Grebe 6, Shoveler 36 plus Daves notes. A group of 60+ Starlings probably roosted in the North Moors. 8-PJohn Too late (lazy) to actually do any work Sunday, but was immediately presented with a cup of tea and splendid date & walnut affair...
