Highlights of today's Timed Tetrad Visit were the following:
Plenty of Rooks at various sites, including an adult with a young one near Tarfside Oval.
An Oystercatcher flying past the high flats there.
A small population of Goldcrests in Cardonald Cemetery.
A Cormorant in the usual tree beside the Cart.
Singing Whitethroat and Blackcap.
Connections with some tricky species including Herring Gull, Mistle Thrush, Collared Dove and Swallow.
Lowlights were NO sightings of some common birds including Starling, Great Tit and Chaffinch.
The highlight of an afternoon trip to Edinburgh was a female Sparrowhawk which exploded out of a hedge into a busy junction on Peffermill Road.
