Fantastic views of a buzzard this morning, circling quite low down and calling for a good 20 minutes. Just at the junction of Scout Rd and Coal Pit Rd. Apart from that, just the usual suspects.

Hmm, yes, an unfortunate turn of phrase there Jamie. And yes, again Tim. I guess new meanings have hijacked old sayings!

Managed to position myself out of the way of the Red Kite this morning :-/ but still....


Burnt edge 2 x stints 06.30 - 08.00 and 10.20 - 12.00


Not a huge amount moving through. Large number of Meadow Pipits including 104 perched on the wires at Slack Hall Farm at one point but generally they were just blogging about. 2 Buzzards, 4 Kestrel, 3 Sparrowhawk, 1 Great Spotted Woodpecker, 1 Nuthatch and a flock of approx 73 Goldfinches


George's Lane 08.20 - 10.00


Nothing at all unusual or noteworthy really. Another tidy flock of 30+ Goldfinches, 5+ Goldcrests in Wilderswood, 1 Chiffchaff. Again plenty Meadow Pipits but difficult to separate out any birds passing through from those blogging around.




I was very excited by your Stints for a few seconds Craig..

Georges Lane, Lancashire section:

1 Kestrel, 2 Magpie, several Carrion Crow, 2 Goldcrest, 3 Lesser Redpoll, several Meadow Pipit, Robin, Dunnock, Wren, juvenile Common Whitethroat, juvenile Wheatear, heard Red Grouse.

Georges Lane, Manchester section: Magpie, Carrion Crow, 8 Goldfinch, Robin, several Meadow Pipit.

Winter Hill, on the walk up Mast Road I noted plenty Meadow Pipit, 1 Skylark and a single Wheatear on a wall. At the top on the wall that lies next to the boundary between Lancashire & Manchester, there were at least 12 Wheatear and several Meadow Pipit. At the top of Mast Road, whilst talking to Andy Makin (Manchester Birding) he pointed out to me that there were three Red Grouse sat on the same wall but about 100yds to the south. Around the masts (on the LCC side) there were several more Meadow Pipits, a single Swallow, 3 Kestrel and 2 Carrion Crows. On the walk back down Mast Road I noted most of the Wheatear from the wall had dispersed, but there were at least 8 more by the empty compound on the hill with 6 Meadow Pipit and 1 Reed Bunting (all on Manchester side). Further down on the walls to the east of the road where there had been 1 Wheatear on the way up there were at least 50 Wheatear and a dozen or so Meadow Pipit. Farther down still was a single Kestrel being mobbed by at least a dozen Meadow Pipit. 1 Brown Hawker Dragonfly also seen.

Seems like it was a popular place to be today! Good to meet you too Simon, and nice to catch up with Andy who I've not seen for a long time. I spoke to a couple of other birders who may be on here. Sorry didnt ask names. Anyway, in addition to all the above:

Walker Fold / Holdens Farm area - Great spotted woodpecker 1, Wheatear 1, Redstart 2 female/juvenile types, one in the hedge on the left just past Holdens Farm heading to Holdens Plantation one on the opposite side of the field, Stonechat 3, Willow Warbler 6, Sparrowhawk 2, Jay 4, Mistle Thrush 2, Buzzard 2. There was a sizeable tit flock (coal, blue, great, long tailed) at the end of Walker Fold Woods which had a couple of Phylloscs in but they were very mobile and impossible to nail down.

Coal Pit Road - Great spotted Woodpecker 1, Linnet 12, Grey Wagtail 1 and a possible flyover Tree Pipit - called once and was only half heard.
