Thanks pal, you know any decent places in Manchester?
Hello Nick and welcome to the forum, you could try Salford Quay for the chance of migrating birds.

thanks, my big thig is to see Golden Eagles but they wont be coming Salford ha
Hi Nick and a warm welcome from me too.
You could check out some articles in The Opus - this is the page for Lancashire.
Not sure you'll find any GE's though. I don't think there's any in the Lake District now. You'd need to come up to Scotland - Skye and Mull are good bets for them.

Sorry Nick. It's an area I've never been birding. Hopefully some members from your area can give you some decent suggestions.

As Delia said. Mull and Skye are great for Eagles but a bit of a trek.:-O. Still. Could be worse. At least you're closer than me:t:

I dont drive so would these places be out of bounds?
If you can ride a bike you could take it on the train to Oban then get the ferry across to Mull Nick.

Many thanks
There are a few wildlife tours that will pick you up straight from the ferry. We had White-Tailed from the actual ferry this year and Golden Eagle within half an hour of landing.

Where did you travel from?
Hi Nick. From Oban. Catch the train there then hop on a ferry. I'd imagine there's plenty of places to stay there. Well worth it. Also saw Slavonian Grebes, Otters, Great Northern Divers, Black Guillemots, Black-Throated Diver etc. On the same trip.
Welcome to BirdForum Nick. I hope you get a chance to see some eagles!
