A good days birdwatching yesterday. Early afternoon at Finlaystone Point found lots of birds on the mudflats including good numbers of Oystercatchers and Redshanks, plenty of Curlew flying downriver, a scattering of Lapwings, plenty of Mallard and Wigeon feeding in the shallows plus 2 Red breasted Mergansers, 10 Shelduck, 3 Goldeneye and 4 Great crested Grebes further out. Later, at Rouken Glen Pond, 60 Jackdaws and 150 Black headed Gulls were good counts. On the pond, around 50 Mallard were joined by 8-10 Tufted Ducks and a handful each of Coot and Moorhen.
Today, recent high winds have left some trees (such as Poplar) completely bare, but others (such as Birch) more or less unchanged.
