I was amazed to see this swans nest on the canal at Salford Quays. A very public place to build that enormous nest as it's right by the walkway to the Lowry centre with people, water skiers & bikes going past thecwhole time.
There are no eggs there as yet but it looks like a resident long time nest so she's perhaps reared a family there before, just wondering where she got all those twigs to build for a start!
No need to comment just filling a diary shot.
Went to a concert at the Lowry & stayed over night at the Premier Inn.
I would imagine that the Council will come in and protect this nest. Don't want lots of people poking sticks etc at it! There seems to be three Premier Inns in Manchester....... a good night out!
@maggiemae they might do maggie as swans are a protected species in the UK. She looked a little ruffled though & as it's pretty devoid of any reeds or greenery she was pretty much pushed to build there.
