It was another cold, windy day here in West Central Scotland, but an afternoon walk around Mugdock Country Park turned up a few interesting sightings. Three or four Willow Warblers braved the elements to sing, with one doing so in the bare branches of a path-side tree. Two invisible songsters nearby might have been Blackcaps. The Goldeneyes and Tufted Ducks have disappeared from Mugdock Loch (although I noticed plenty of the latter on Victoria Park pond as I drove past) and the 10 Mallards between Mugdock and Craigend were all drakes. A Goldfinch was sharing a tree near the castle ruins with a Siskin and another of the latter was calling beside the Gallows Pond (pictured below). Finally, a possible Sparrowhawk sped through the trees behind the dipping pond.
