Westbury-on-Severn     A YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER at Westbury Sewage works this afternoon until 4pm at least at SO716133. There’s practically no parking near the sewage works and it would be best to park in Westbury and take the footpath through the churchyard towards Westbury Strand.  You can see the sewage works from a distance, it’s surrounded by a conifer screen. The bird was spending most of its time in the single conifer by one of the treatment beds. (John & Viv Phillips).
