At the Harborne reserve there will be two guided walks aimed at beginners/ new members on both March 7th and 14th commencing at 10am. The walks will take about an hour and a half. The rendezvous point will be the gate off the Harborne Walkway 250m from Gillhurst Road where there is on-street parking opposite Euan Close. Regular buses run along Hagley Rd, a short distance away.
From Gillhurst Rd,after entering the Walkway, visitors can either take the immediate right turn along a rough rocky path down to the reserve gate,this path is under water after heavy rain. Alternatively they can take the second and level path on the right for 200m along the top of the embankment till reaching the green reserve fence ,then taking another right down to our gate.
There are benches and picnic tables for those wanting to bring a flask of tea or…

Many thanks 😊

Seems plausible Don, especially as I am only hearing male birds. And as it is the first time it has happened perhaps it is because of an increase in the population
It appears that nobody responded to you regarding this post.
Access to to area is via public footpath, via the island on the A513. Most pits are viewable from the road that winds around the area. There is a closed off track by the first bend with a little room for parking and there is a circular walk from there if you want.
