Park Hall Nature Reserve

Park Hall was a Wildlife Trust nature reserve in Birmingham England, until it was taken possession of by HS2.

It comprises flood plain grassland, wetland and pools along the former route of the River Tame and part of the realigned river which runs along its northern boundary, together with ancient woodland and other habitats on the scarp slopes to the south.

[1] During spring impressive displays of bluebells, ramsons, yellow archangel and numerous other plants can be seen in the woodlands, while in the farm ponds amphibians including great crested newt, common toad and frog begin to breed.

As the seasons move along the grasslands and wetlands come into their own, with colourful floral displays and abundant butterflies and dragonflies.

Summer breeding birds include reed bunting, teal, swan and buzzard, while in the evenings bats forage on moths and other insects.
