Seven down on Watergrove Reservoir at 10:10 hrs must have flown in some time after 09:00 hrs. They looked strangely out of place on the water. Six took flight west at 10:25 hrs leaving one behind which then started following a pair of Canada Geese on the water.
According to the GMBRG database, the first ever flock seen in Rochdale in May.
