A Buzzard swooped across the M8 at Carnbroe as I was heading home late afternoon. 

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.  

A hundred or so Pink-footed Geese flew, calling over Woodfarm this afternoon, heading north west. 

Calling Nuthatch and Great Spotted Woodpecker were slightly unexpected during a walk around Rouken Glen Park Pond. A Cormorant was slightly less so.

A Starling was singing from the school behind my apartment today. The species is rare in my part of south Glasgow all summer but quite common in autumn and winter. 

A singing Chiffchaff was the highlight of a short walk around Lendrick Muir, Clackmannanshire this afternoon.

At least ten Gadwall were feeding in open water at Hogganfield Loch. They seem to dabble in deeper water than Mallards. I failed to find any Pochard or Goldeneye among the Tufted Ducks and Coots also there. As elsewhere, I was struck by the high proportion of immatures among the Black-headed Gulls gathered at the site.
