Managed a very good timed tetrad visit to Cardonald / Pollock today. Recorded a total of 546 birds of 37 species. Highlights were a male Siskin on the garden feeders, 6 stunning Goosanders displaying and muttering in low clucks, two pairs of Little Grebe, a very lost-looking Tufted Duck (my first ever here), flocks of Redwings singing quietly in the treetops, a Treecreeper flying over Crookston Road and a Great spotted Woodpecker flying between Dundee Drive and Crookston Wood. Also notable were nest-building Magpies and my first Chaffinch song of the year (other singers included Robin, Wren, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Woodpigeon, Greenfinch and Goldfinch). Notable absentees from the big list were Collared Dove, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Kingfisher (very scarce this winter) and Grey Wagtail.
