Moses Gate Country Park

I decided to go to Moses Gate today to pick a Goosander or two for my new year list.  I was also hopeful I might see a Kingfisher or Dipper on the River Irwell there but no luck there I'm afraid. 

Here's a quick summary of what I did see:

• Goosander (8 male and 12 female)
• Grey Heron
• Tufted Duck
• Long tailed Tit
• Dunnock
• Robin
• Carrion Crow
• Great Tit
• Blue Tit
• Blackbird
• Black headed Gull
• Mute Swan
• Mallard
• Pigeon
• Canada Goose
• Moorhen
• Coot
• and two quite beautiful but elusive deer faun
