Sale Water Park 14th February 2012
We went for our first walk after coming back from holiday. Neither of us had been feeling particularly bright after both of us getting a dose of the flu. It was a bright day however and we thought it might be good to blow the cobwebs out so we did a regular walk of ours along Brook Burn in Chorlton up to the Mersey and along the Mersey crossing at the railway bridge and then dropping down to Sale Water Park passing Broad Dole Ees and along to the Mersey Valley Visitors Centre and returning back home via Jackson’s Boat bridge. Our first sighting was encouraging as we encountered a female Goosander on the Mersey.
