| Woodpigeons, Trafford Park |
I had errands and shopping to do today so it was late on when I had a bit of a walk, just a mile or so's stretch of the Bridgewater Canal through Stretford Marina and Trafford Park.

| Canada geese |
There were the inevitable mallards and Canada geese, God knows where the moorhens were today. Half a dozen lesser black-backs made a racket from the recycling yard on the Longford Estate. There were lots of pairs of woodpigeons in the trees by the canalside, a few singing chiffchaffs and the usual smattering of goldfinches, greenfinches, spadgers, blue tits and dunnocks. It's also pretty clear that grey wagtails see waterways through industrial estates as just rivers and streams cutting wooded valleys through rocky landscapes. Which is exactly what they are.
