Apparently the bird was only present on Sunday morning (5th) and was disturbed by boats. Like everyone else I'm afraid I only heard of the sighting long after the event.

Hi Ian,
I am afraid I had received this information after the bird was present, and it was only present for a very short period. Its a shame the info was handed on sooner as I know Rob is looking for one for his Manchester year list, not to mention all the Rochdale birders for theirs.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Dave

On David Winnard`s Website, `Wildlife Of Rochdale`, a Red breasted Merganser is on the sightings page for 5 Nov. at Hollingworth Lake. Did anyone catch this or has anyone any info ? Is it still there ?
