A few lesser black-backs and a lone black-headed gull drifted overhead and there was a single herring gull perched on a roof by Stretford Marina. Plenty of chiffchaffs, blackcaps and wrens singing by the canalside and there was a pied wagtail on the little cut by Kellogg's. One of the pairs of Canada geese had a couple of goslings. No sign of any buzzards today but a soaring male sparrowhawk and a kestrel warning a carrion crow off (presumably trying to keep it away from a nearby nest somewhere in the work yard on the other side of the canal) more than compensated.
