Must have been there at the same time as myself Bob, as that Peregrine flew above my head and scattered all the birds. Did not see or hear any warblers though.

Hi Chaps

I was there slightly later than yourselves.  Missed the peregrine and the blackcaps, but had 2 sightings of buzzard, 1 flying towards Horncliffe and later 1 soaring over Irwell Vale.  Could have been the same bird.

I can also add the following

  • 1 curlew high over EBSW towards Shuttleworth
  • another willow warbler
  • another 3 chiffchaffs
  • kingfisher on the river
  • 1 pr grey wagtail near Stand Athletic and 1 pr near the soap works

cheers Kevin
