Been hearing them very regularly around the  Manchester Old Road / Rhodes area of  Middleton over the last month.  Only 1's seen but there are more than 1 for sure.  

 

Also around the Clifton Road to Hilton Lane area of Prestwich on the 19th and 20th this week.  Calls were more heard more frequently here than in Middleton.

c.50 at Jackson's Boat pre-roost at 1615. c.120 at roost with c.150 jackdaws at roost at the bottom of Hardy Lane, Chorlton at 1635. A lot of milling about of birds so the counts are approximate.

Slightly late with these, but in the last month or so evidence to suggest their range is expanding Northwards. I've seen 3 in Middleton at Limefield Playing Fields and one flying over the Nuttall Lane area of Ramsbottom.

A rather noisy bird was sat opposite the house earlier this afternoon. It then relocated to a neighbour's garden where it continued calling before flying away.
