Female peregrine was perched on one of the peel towers of the lifting bridge at 9.15am this morning, soon flew off as a lesser black backed gull started harassing her. Male perched on Barton bridge.
It's taken me ages to get my eye in on the peregrines on the Beyond building but I've finally got there. The male was on the letter E on the Trafford Centre side last evening at 7:40.
Just after 8am this morning a (very large) Peregrine was sat on one of the lifting bridge tower and then just after midday two were on the Beyond sign on the Trafford Centre side of the building.
At 10:45 hrs this morning - Peregrine sat on the 'B' of 'Beyond' (not the 'B' of the 'Bang'!) on the Beyond building side facing the Manchester Ship Canal.
2 peregrines sat close to each other on the chimney tower in Premier Park whilst driving home from work at 2.05pm, had to pull over just to double check with my binoculars.
Peregrine falcon only seen once this week, just Monday whilst on my way to work in its usual spot on the chimney tower in Premier park. Whilst driving into work yesterday, Thursday, a great spotted woodpecker was actually flying along directly above my car & carried on in the direction of the Trafford Centre as I turned in to work. 2 pied wagtails feeding on 3rd avenue yesterday also.

At least 10 blackbirds again feeding on the Rowan tree in my works car park on Broadway just after 10am this morning, heard a song thrush in the trees but didn't see it, also 2 blue tits. Whilst watching the birds feeding several gulls were suddenly making a lot of noise, on looking around I noticed a peregrine falcon was perched up on an ariel mast not too far away next to Eddie stobart,it soon flew off though.
