A walk along the Cart this afternoon revealed evidence of recent flooding at several places. Bird life was scarce due to the river being in spate, but an early burst of Blue Tit song was notable.
Earlier in the day, notable visitors to the garden included a party of Long tailed Tits (the first time I have seen them actually on the feeders), Greenfinch and Chaffinch (both rare this winter) and an almost pure white feral pigeon.
A lunchtime walk around Barshaw Park revealed plenty of flighty Redwings, hedges crammed full of House Sparrows and a Whooper Swan with 10 Mute Swans on the pond.
News from the web is of a Black necked Grebe on Antermony Loch, Milton of Campsie.
