16.45 today at least 2 birds on one of the large soil heaps in the cordoned-off area at Dean Lane, near the Carpet World roost. This is the site of an old flat-roofed L'Oreal building (now demolished for new housing) over which I'm seen birds displaying in several past Springs. It will be interesting to see if sightings on the grass patch opposite are down this Summer, in the same way that sightings at Morrisons in Failsworth stopped when the old mill was converted to a much lower building.
Also 35 birds high s.e over Hollinwood 16.55
