seven arches Bramall (1 Viewer)

I've read in places that the Micker Brook has previously been good for Kingfisher sightings between the viaduct and Bramall Hall, can anyone vouch for this before I make the journey?

Depending where you are based, it might be worth going that little further to Etherow Country Park in Romiley. Kingfisher there on a daily basis, mainly up on the pools as you go up to the bird hide.

I usually see them on that pool. Some have reported views of them from the bird hide (past the top of that pool, through a wooden gate on your left, follow that track), but I've not been in there enough to either confirm or deny that.

Also seen them on the Mersey at Heaton Mersey Nature Park, just of the Didsbury Road. Much more distant than Etherow though.

I've never seen them on the pool, but have several sightings from the hide. Also had plenty of sighting along the canal between Marple and Hyde, usually along the section west of Romiley. Roman Lakes is another venue where sightings are not unusual

thanks Adam and N B T, I used to be a regular at Etherow, but havn't been there for 20 years.... might be a resurgence

I recently heard from another forum that Moore Nature Reserve near Warrington has plenty of Kingfisher activity, with well dressed perches being set up close to hides by local photographers
