Had a walk around the locality of Birch Industrial estate and Higher Barn Farm often call Pilsworth but part Heywood (Rochdale) and Bury. Highlight was a surprise Hobby behind Higher Barn Farm. Just the one flyby but unmistakeable. Not sure if passing or hanging around as close to Pilsworth Fisheries and the tip. If I see it again I'll pass news on quicker for those that need it. Also around were Buzzard, Sedge Warbler,Whitethroat, Tree Sparrow and usual supporting cast! Steve
