Been a while since I have reported anything from Trafford Park Hotel car park this mainly due to there being a temporary covid vaccination centre there but went a few months ago.
Today I had a male blackcap eating berries there.
There was a chiffchaff singing there also a couple of weeks ago & several goldcrest around.

Looks like some work is going on on beyond as there is scaffolding around the roof top.

I have been seeing a very large number of gulls recently hanging around mellors Road just off Trafford Park Road, all the years of working in Trafford Park I have noticed it but never paid to much attention to it, so yesterday after work just before 7pm I actually drove down mellors road, it's a dead end down there but all the gulls are hanging around there as there is a recycling centre called s Norton & Co. Not great viewing when close up there, you don't see as many gulls that are actually there but I would give an approximate guess at around 300+ majority Lesser Black backed gulls. A quick photo taken on my mobile whilst parked up, tried not to disturb them by getting out of the car. I will try my best to give it a bit more attention from now on just incase anything looks different.
There is a few roost sites in Trafford Park, I have mentioned these in posts in this thread on a number of occasions, Eddie stobart is usually the main one but hard to view, also get them on occasions on kerry logistics which is handy for me as it is next door to my works, better views. I try my best not to skive work when I'm on my late shift wink
