Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham
Sutton Park is a national nature reserve with heathland, woodland and wetlands on a much larger scale than its urban setting might suggest. The town council’s ecological appraisal records Skylark, Linnet and Yellowhammer in its exact-site bird inventory. Concentrate a birdwatching visit on a manageable section of the reserve rather than trying to cover every lake and wood in one circuit. The park’s public entrances and established paths allow several starting points, while the mix of open and wooded habitat offers a clear contrast with the smaller wetland reserves around Birmingham.
