Spent the whole afternoon exploring Mugdock Country Park. Spring birdsong was one of the main features of the day, with totals being as follows; Chaffinch (9), Goldfinch (5), Greenfinch (2), Chiffchaff (4), Willow Warbler (3, all in one small area - my first of the year), Blue Tit (3), Great Tit (6), Coal Tit (2), Robin (12), Wren (9) and Blackbird (1). Other good birds were 4 Buzzards (including 3 soaring together), single calling Great spotted Woodpecker and Pheasant, nesting Carrion Crow and a nice pair of Common Gulls on Craigend Pond. Assorted other highlights included a pair of breeding Toads in Mugdock Loch, my first Orange Tip Butterfly of the year, flowering Coltsfoot, Broad-leaved Pondweed, Dog's Mercury and Lesser Celandine, and a Leech with the Sticklebacks in Gallows Pond.
