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.

Whilst parked in Trafford retail park looking in the direction of beyond looking to see if any peregrines were there at 10.25am, there wasn't any peregrines, but a grey heron flew over the Trafford Centre heading in the direction of beyond but lost from view behind the trees. 10 minutes later 3 jays flew from the direction of the Trafford Centre High up & heading my way over the retail park. On leaving at 11am I then noticed a peregrine was actually sat on one of the pylons next to beyond, also 9 starlings were sat about 20 feet away from the peregrine.

I think this is the closest thread. 
I was surprised to see a buzzard fly very low West over the junction of Davyhulme Road and Park Road (just South of Kelloggs) at 17:45. Local magpies did not look impressed.
