Hi Colin.
Did you get to the bottom of your mystery bird?
I actually sent you a welcoming message and my email address yesterday morning but I didn't get a reply. Your messages are in the top right corner of the forum screen under your name.

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

Thanks for replying to my post. Time was just after 6:30 pm on sunday 13th Sept. Sighting was the middle of the lodges heading along the path to main one at the car park. Length possible 18 inches although not 100% on that sorry. Its actually the image on my avatar pic but i will mail it to you for closer inspection althovh not a good shot.

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.
