Beschrijving
Ladywalk reserve is located behind the Hams Hall Distribution Park and sits in a loop formed by the River Tame. This reserve is an integral part of the important wildlife area known as the Middle Tame Valley and the site is comprised of lagoons that are the result of flooded gravel extraction workings. The large area of reedbed has become an important feature not just to this reserve but to the whole Middle Tame Valley and the entire region too. This area of reed has become associated with the occurrence of wintering Roerdomp and the reserve has been identified as one of the foremost sites in the country to observe this bird. Tracts of Birch and Alder woodland add to the diversity of habitat and this attracts winter finch flocks. The reserve is also an excellent place to see Waterral. Boomvalk is also a frequent summer visitor. A wide range of birds species can be found here year round and wetland birds are the predominant feature. Note: Access to Ladywalk Reserve is Restricted. You have to be a member of the West Midland Bird Club. Single day visits can be made to this reserve by bona fide groups at a cost of £3.00 per person.
