Hi All, 

I was driving into central Manchester on Friday 1st Dec. at approximately 07:45 AM.   I had travelled along Princess Parkway in the usual commuter traffic.  Between the Brewery traffic lights and the Hulme Bridge a bird that looked remarkably like a swallow flew in front of the car.  I was surrounded by traffic and doing (Hu-hum) 30 so didn't have an opportunity to follow it.  

My immediate reaction was - Swallow; my next was; don't be stupid it's 1st Dec. today.   I have been through all the birds I can think of and none fit the jizz.  I saw the underside and the wing markings were that of a swallow as was the wing shape and the streamers.  However, I only saw it for a moment in quite poor light.  I mentioned this to some birding friends at the CAWOS meeting in the evening and was told that there have been sightings of swallows in Cheshire this late.  I wondered if anyone else might have seen it or have any ideas as to what it might be.  

Thanks,  Chris

Hulme tram station? There isn't a Hulme tram?

For ten days a mistle thrush has been singing from direction of Hulme tram station from 6 45am, as I arrive for work, in the dark and the rain. Marvellous! He started approx six years ago.
