Walk to Chorlton Water Park
We went for a walk across the Meadows to Jackson’s Boat bridge and then along the Mersey to Chorlton Water Park. As we walked along the Mersey a Heron fledgling flew by and stopped at the water edge for a while. The lake at the water park was as empty as I think I have ever seen it and was decidedly lacking in the usual large numbers of Black-headed Gulls and even Feral Pigeons which are usually everywhere. On the water there were around 20 Canada Geese and around 10 Mallard. There were around 4 Coots and 3 Great Crested Grebes and some Swallows flying overhead as well but that was about it.
