Lee Dam and Rochdale Canal

Lee Dam was still 60% frozen over this morning but there were 3 pairs of Goosander there. The freezing temperatures we're due to have over the next week won't help either. Not much other bird life to be seen until the Rochdale Canal and River Calder, where a Kingfisher and a Grey Wagtail were seen.

The snow arrived later in the morning as promised and the temperature dropped from 6 degrees to -1 in about 2 hours. By the time the sun was setting the snow had stopped and made the hills and Stoodley Pike very picturesque.
