ONE bird has been crowned king in Bolton as part of a project which has identified 10 birds to represent each of the boroughs in Greater Manchester. A survey launched by the Greater Manchester Birding City Region Project, entitled The Perfect Ten , revealed that 77 percent of respondents agreed the kingfisher should represent Bolton, with more than half having spotted the bird. The birds, which are easily recognisable with their blue backs and yellow breasts, usually live along riverbanks and can be spotted in Bolton at sites such as Moses Gate Country Park, Doffcocker Lodge and Jumbles Country Park. The aim of the project is to raise awareness of the birds while increasing civic pride, and providing a basic framework for a future Greater Manchester Ecotourism Plan.
