The harris hawk has been around the elm tree road and sandringham road area of lower Bredbury for at least a month now with bells attached, my parents see it regularly but I'm yet to see it. No one seems to be missing it, I had one visit my my garden a couple times about 2 years ago when i lived on woodbank avenue the next road over from marina drive,
perhaps its living wild.
Stephen Fuentes said
Wed Sep 21 5:48 PM, 2016
Harris's hawk seen in large Oak just off Marina Road.
The bird has straps and bells attached so someone will be missing this escaped bird.
It eventually flew off over Broadway towards Morissons, and despite a short search I was unable to relocate it.
If you are in the area keep a look out.
Cheers,
Steve.

A Parakeet was seen in a tree on Marina Road this morning as I left for work. I was unable to see any colours of the bird as it was silhouetted against a bright white sky. It then flew off in the direction of Stockport Road.
Swifts are in good numbers now too. Also, a Blackcap and Goldcrest have been heard regularly calling from a nearby garden.

Swift numbers over Bredbury are increasing by the day.
Yesterday evening I watched one flying low between the houses on my road looking for a nesting site. On several occasions it tried to get in through the eaves of my next-door neighbour's house and in to the roof space. Hopefully it will find a suitable hole. unfortunately my house has soffits and facias, so I won't be getting any nesting in my roof.
Cheers,
Steve.
