SUMMARY:Clifton Pits & Croome
DESCRIPTION:Leader: Jeanne Vitkowski\nA new site for our club – or certainly one we haven’t visited for a very long time!  Clifton Pits in Worcestershire\, England\, is a birdwatching hotspot located off the A38 south of Kempsey\, known for its main pit and surrounding smaller pits. \nIt is a noted birding location\, featuring species like Egyptian Geese\, Whimbrel\, Wood Sandpiper\, and Goosander.  I’ve personally visited Clifton Pits 3 times and have seen Black Tern\, Long-tailed Duck\, and two Lesser Scaup.  So it’s a bit of a magnet for rarer birds.   The walking is across fields and paths; it can be a bit muddy\, so walking boots are recommended.  There are a variety of habitats\,  farmland\, hedgerows in addition to the pits themselves. \nIf time and enthusiasm allow\, there may be an opportunity to visit nearby Croome\, a National Trust property with a breeding population of Nightingales\, which are becoming increasingly difficult to see in Gloucestershire. \nFor Clifton Pits access is via public footpaths\, with parking available near the gate.
