Rochdale

I went for a walk with John this morning starting at Queens Park in Rochdale along the River Roch and through the surrounding woodland in very warm, unseasonable weather. Although the walk was enjoyable with very good company, there were surprisingly few birds around, and only 7 Jays, a BHGull, 2 Mute Swans and a pair of Bullfinch showed themselves throughout a 2 hour walk. Spookily quiet.
