Sankey Valley

I biked it along the Sankey Valley this morning, on my way to work, from Carr Mill Dam to Mucky mountains at Earlestown. I didn't stop anywhere, and I completed the whole route in 25 minutes, so not exactly serious birding, but even so quite a decent selection of birds, as follows:

Kingfisher 1
Mute Swan 2 (inc. bird with 6 cygnets)
Reed Warbler 5+
Sedge Warbler 1+
Whitethroat 10+
Blackcap 5+
Willow Warbler 6
Chiffchaff 5
Jay 1
Yellowhammer 2
