Enjoying my short stay in leafy South Manchester (below). Really struck by the number of birds singing. In Christie Hospital grounds alone heard Great Tit, Blue tit, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Wren, Woodpigeon, Dunnock and Robin. Not many of the usual leaf warblers about (I only heard one Willow Warbler and no Chiffchaffs during the entire 3 days), but heard quite a few possible Blackcaps. Most interesting sighting was of 4 Swifts flying low and straight (not in their usual sweeping arcs) across Wilabraham Road (my first of the year).
