Two Oystercatchers this morning on the hardstanding along Taylor Road/adjacent to the north-west of Asda. Presumably the same pair seen at the Soccerdome recently.

Whilst cycling home from work this evening along Trafford Park Road at 10.10pm I noticed something feeding under the street light a bit further ahead of me, thinking it was most likely a bat to my surprise it was in fact a wheatear (female) catching moths, it landed on a sign just below the light looked at me made a couple of tacking calls & flew off into the yard beyond the sign. smile
