A lunchtime walk around Murdieston Park found the smaller dam completely ice-bound, and all the wildfowl concentrated into a tiny patch of open water near the southwest corner of the main reservoir. Gull numbers were well up, but otherwise there was little of note. The Goosanders, Goldeneye, Pochards, Little Grebe, Cormorant and Grey Heron all seem to have moved on.
The cold weather of late produced a temperature of -23 degrees centigrade in Nethybridge last night, and some unusual bird sightings at the weekend including two Goosanders over Buchanan Street Bus Station and a Woodcock over the M8 at Eurocentral (ayrshirebirding).
