Pink with a parrot-like call? Rosella Cockatoo?

Colin, it would help if you could explain where you mean.
I know of a number of places which have "lodges" in Stockport and Manchester

If you email me the pic at nmhilton71@aol.com I'll gladly have a look. Some members returning on the coach from the Stockport Birdwatching Society trip yesterday had a quick view of a mystery bird adjacent to the M60. Where abouts is "middle lodge", what time was it and can you give me any indication of the size of the bird? cheers Nick

This is my first post on here and was wondering if someone could clear up the mystery of a long pink bird that flew into a tree overlooking the middle lodge. I heard it twittering to itself rather like a parrot. Managed to get a pic albeit without a proper view of it's head, although you can just make out it's eye. Has anyone seen similar round that area or the woods ? Not a woodpigeon or a Jay so what could it be ? Will try and post the photo if it helps.
Got your reply cheers Colin, it's a Jay, black moustache is visible.
