Visited this area of Oldham for the first time ever today - despite having lived in the area for 20+ years! Really will have to try and get out a bit more
On the upper reservoir - 1 Little Grebe, 2 redhead Goosanders and a pair of Tufted Duck. 170+ Black-headed Gulls, 2 Herring Gull, 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull and 1 Common Gull. The poor Little Grebe was followed around by a single predatory Black-headed Gull waiting for an opportunity to pinch any food off it - the miserable sod!
1 Grey Heron and a Little Owl on a stone wall nearby.
Two male Bullfinches attempted to out-sing each other - the volume was deafening - not!
