Nestled between the urban stretches of Tamworth and Birmingham, Middy reveals wild wonders with every visit, ringing with the squawks of herons, the \u2018oi-oi-oi\u2019s of nuthatches and the tapping of woodpeckers. In spring, Middy is JOY! I\u2019d travel there specifically for my first cuckoo of the year. A good day in May and 10 types of warbler will grace your ears with their song.
