There is a rookery in Tyldesley Cemetery

Tonight 170 Jackdaws flew in to Pennington from the west, but went to roost on the south side of the Flash instead of continuing east (on the previous occasion I could hear a few in the trees on the south side as well as the birds seen flying east)

Yes Dave, Botany Bay Woods does indeed have a roost of Corvids, including Jackdaws.

Going off thread, but still relating to corvids, on 10th Jan 109 Jackdaws flew east over Pennington Flash at dusk, while I was doing the gull roost - does anybody know where these might have been heading? Does Botany Bay Wood have a corvid roost?

Corvids now forget gulls I do like a good flock of corvids,
recommend The Crows Franklin Coombs
Crow Country mark cocker
two excellent corvid books
keep birding

Rooks 40+ feeding in field just off sale lane tyldesley, between mossley common and mort lane 1130 this morning. behind new housing estate lhs field going towards stonehouse farm.
