I have been involved with the path project and on each of past 3 site visits have seen Kingfisher - Friday it was South of railway coming out of tunnel, saw 6 people in hi viz and flew north over the embankment!d

There is a good deal of work taking place just outside Park (towards M60 side) with new path being built by side of brook. Does anybody know who is doing the work, scope/length of path and estimated completion date? When completed this should be great place to walk with reported sightings of Kingfisher.
