A rainy day today, but an afternoon walk along the Cart and Levern Water turned up a number of interesting sightings. There was a Sand Martin over the river at Pollock and some flowering Cornflowers beside the fence along Brockburn Road. A half-grown, leucistic juvenile Mallard was struggling up the Cart beside the Moulin weir and a juvenile Jackdaw was begging for food on the playing fields there. Best of all was a singing male Whitethroat, again, at Cardonald Place Farm. It seemed to have disappeared over the past month but is present again very close to where it had set up territory before [18,000].
