There are several rowans at the Premier Inn on Sir Alex furgerson way which I have been watching for a few weeks now, plenty of berries still there but are going down.
On my way to work at today 12.40pm there was...
14 mistle thrush
1 song thrush
5 blackbirds
1 redwing
Possibly a blackcap but in a tree a little further away from me but soon flew off.

West Point Building, Chester Road, en route to our usual Boxing Day defeat, this year at Old Trafford.

The building appears to be used as a plucking post by a raptor. Three Black-headed Gull carcasses lay on the ground, breasts removed.
