I recently received an email from Chris who lives in Oakenshaw.
On the 1/12 he was in his garden when he saw a Raven flying over his house. Thankfully he took a good description and recorded it’s call, as the Raven can be confused with the Carrion Crow which is common in the Oakenshaw area.
The Raven is uncommon in urban areas so it is no surprise that this is the first know sighting I am aware of in the Oakenshaw/Low Moor area.
Thank you Chris.
On another note I spoke to Luke Tetley at Tiffin’s Sandwiches recently and he told me that the project to enhance the land they bought next to Toad Holes Beck for nature is still on target but they are just waiting for some further bio-diversity information to come in, which is excellent and encouraging news!
