Spent most of the day in Mugdock Park, recording a fair number of birds including a showy Goldcrest, a Greylag Goose bizarrely sitting on the ramparts of Craigend Castle and my first Willow Warblers of the year. At least eight of the latter were singing around the northern section of the park - more than I have heard there before, and outnumbering the three Chiffchaffs also noted. Also of interest was a clump of Marsh Marigold in flower next to the Craigend Pond outflow.
Managed to add four new species to my square count for Mugdock Visitor Centre: Woodpigeon, Pied Wagtail, Goldcrest and Mistle Thrush.
