Only managed out a few times over a very busy New Year period. However the back garden bird feeders were always busy, which was some compensation. The most regular visitors remain the three Dunnocks, now indulging in much wing flicking. A Robin has also taken up residence and spends a lot of time "bossing" the other species. Unusual visitors have included two Coal Tits and a pair of Chaffinches. The local Blackbirds continue to get ready for an early start to the breeding season with at least two males singing in the early hours of this morning.
Yesterday, managed a quick (but unsuccessful) trip over to Glanderston Dam to look for the Black throated Diver. Only birds of note were around 20 geese flying down to Balgray Reservoir in small flocks.
Today, dropped in to Glasgow Botanic Gardens and enjoyed 9 Goosander (4 males and 5 females/1st winters) on the Kelvin, with three Mallards nearby and a flock of Long tailed Tits overhead.
