Beschreibung
This urban park LNR has a good amount of wintering birds and during Spring/Summer/Autumn the area attracts passage migrants. The area has a large lake with islands, pools, reedbeds, trees, scrubland and open areas.
(*1) (press STAR on map), the smaller reed fringed pools usually have Zwergtaucher, Wasserralle, in Summer breeding Teichrohrsänger and on passage Schilfrohrsänger. Small numbers of Rohrammer also occur.
(*2), the large lake, called Pump House Pool has Tafelente, Gänsesäger, Krickente, Löffelente and Schnatterente in Winter. Haubentaucher, Eisvogel, Trauerbachstelze, Gebirgsstelze and Reiherente are usually present, the surrounding trees usually have a few Erlenzeisig. Flußseeschwalbe (former breeder) are possible depending on season, passage waders such as Flußuferläufer, Austernfischer and Flußregenpfeifer still turn up annually.
(*3), areas of trees/scrubland/open areas have Wiesenpieper, Dorngrasmücke, Klappergrasmücke, Fitis, Zilpzalp, Mönchsgrasmücke and Gartengrasmücke. Kolkrabe and Wanderfalke (check electricity pylons) are regularly seen. Baumfalke turn up in late Summer into Autumn.
(*4), Tunnel to Rattlechain Lagoon under railway line and Birmingham Canal, NOTE this tunnel is often flooded, suitable footwear advised.
(*5), Rattlechain Lagoon, in 2021 a Schwarzhalstaucher turned up here, overland migrating Trauerente often stop over for a few days from time to time. This Lagoon is also worth checking for passage waders.
