I have been seeing a very large number of gulls recently hanging around mellors Road just off Trafford Park Road, all the years of working in Trafford Park I have noticed it but never paid to much attention to it, so yesterday after work just before 7pm I actually drove down mellors road, it's a dead end down there but all the gulls are hanging around there as there is a recycling centre called s Norton & Co. Not great viewing when close up there, you don't see as many gulls that are actually there but I would give an approximate guess at around 300+ majority Lesser Black backed gulls. A quick photo taken on my mobile whilst parked up, tried not to disturb them by getting out of the car. I will try my best to give it a bit more attention from now on just incase anything looks different.
There is a few roost sites in Trafford Park, I have mentioned these in posts in this thread on a number of occasions, Eddie stobart is usually the main one but hard to view, also get them on occasions on kerry logistics which is handy for me as it is next door to my works, better views. I try my best not to skive work when I'm on my late shift wink

Peregrine falcon only seen once this week, just Monday whilst on my way to work in its usual spot on the chimney tower in Premier park.
Whilst driving into work yesterday, Thursday, a great spotted woodpecker was actually flying along directly above my car & carried on in the direction of the Trafford Centre as I turned in to work.
2 pied wagtails feeding on 3rd avenue yesterday also.

At least 10 blackbirds again feeding on the Rowan tree in my works car park on Broadway just after 10am this morning, heard a song thrush in the trees but didn't see it, also 2 blue tits. Whilst watching the birds feeding several gulls were suddenly making a lot of noise, on looking around I noticed a peregrine falcon was perched up on an ariel mast not too far away next to Eddie stobart,it soon flew off though.
