Bird activity low at dusk tonight (if you exclude jackdaws and parakeet flocks). Only highlight 3 snipe came up out of the cow field..... And the clear sky gave good views of jupiter and its moons.

2 visits down the Ees today.

Saw the Harris Hawk this morning with its usual escort of crows.

At dusk a male Kestrel was hunting the Cow Field. A bird kicked up in a wet area of the woodland but didn't get a good luck but probably snipe or woodcock.

Had report from a reliable source of Water Rail being heard around the Meadow Pond - but didn't get chance to check myself.

On Hardy Farm, 1315, a flock of 30+ lesser redpolls were feeding on the small trees between the path to Jackson's Boat and the tram lines before flying off. I bumped into them again feeding on the birches between the tram bridge and golf course ten minutes later and they flew on over to Sale Golf Course.
