Hi

There are two sections to the reserve. The flashes - which are salty and can be accessed via the Sailing Club car park. I prefer to park in the other carpark, first right after the Sailing Club if you come from the M5. This is where the Moors Pool is. The small concete hide traditionally has the best kingfisher sightings. We were not let down this morning amazing sight of two very close to the hide.
You can walk from there to the Flashes also

Hi

Sorry I do mean the Water Rail hide! I also had a good sighting whilst walking over to the Flashes. One was sat on a branch above the river in the small reserve.

Hope you have a good visit!
