Sankey brook
Sankey valley
Moss Lane earlier in the week
I had a walk down Moss Lane on Thursday and saw this very distant bird which looked to be eating something for around 30 mins.
I think it was a peregrine due to it's size and moustachial stripe.
Also around where this small flock of tree sparrow and a around 16 redwing.
Also, earlier in the week I had this unwelcome visitor in the garden...
