A walk over to Maxwell Park and back this afternoon found a good range of grassland fungi on the verges along Dumbreck Road. Birds included two Goosanders on the park pond and the drake Tufted Duck there well through its moult into breeding plumage. The Mallards, as elsewhere, are displaying and pairing off already.

A juvenile Common Gull was roosting with five Black-headed Gulls on Queen's Park Boating Pond (the Lesser Black-backeds must roost elsewhere) this evening.

At least two Jays were calling along the main drive into Pollok Park today. Also notable were a Speckled Wood and a white butterfly on the wing.

A large dragonfly sp was flying around Rouken Glen Park Pond when I was drinking my coffee there this lunchtime. Unfortunately I failed to get long enough views to hazard an identification.
