	WMBC: H. G. Alexander - 70 Years of Birdwatching - West Midland Reservoirs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Not all the modern reservoirs have such good herbage to provide cover, but those that feed canals, dating back to the early nineteenth century, had mostly developed reed-beds or other good cover at their shallow ends by the beginning of this century, or even a good deal earlier.
		The reservoir was already known to local bird- watchers, but when I came to compile a list for the two Bittell reservoirs in the late twenties (1929) I was only able to get a small number of specific records for the earlier years.
		Bittell was not nearly as attractive to strange birds as the larger Staffordshire reservoirs.

	WMBC: Bittell Reservoir, 1938 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		By H. The Bittell Reservoirs are canal-feeding reservoirs, situated ten miles south of the centre of Birmingham, just south of the English water-shed, where it separates the Trent from the Avon basin.
		The reservoirs are all fed by the head waters of the river Arrow.
		Both reservoirs are surrounded by open country, and it seems that water birds mostly prefer such places to pools that are surrounded by trees.
