Canal Delights
For more than fifty years I have walked the local canal tow-path and admired the wildlife that calls it home. At present young Kingfishers and Common Sandpipers are on the move with adjacent fields attracting a flock of over a hundred Goldfinches feeding on the thistle seeds.A Roebuck regularly swims across the canal but not when I have my camera! Coot are not common on the canal but, unfortunately, Canada Geese and Cormorants are and taking increasing numbers of fish. In winter Fox tracks are regularly seen as the sun sets beyond the sky-scrapers of central Manchester.
