Forty Whooper Swans were beside the M8 on the way to Erskine this morning. Later, a walk along the Cart produced a Moorhen (not that common locally), a Grey Wagtail and a Kingfisher within 5 minutes of leaving the house. Also notable were Snowdrop shoots peeping through where the floodwaters have scarified the river bank.
Clydebirds is reporting that two Green Sandpipers were seen in flooded fields beside the Hurlet yesterday. The list of birds seen in "my" area (Hawkhead / Crookston / Ralston / Arkleston and the Cart Corridor as far as Pollock Park) that I haven't yet recorded is getting quite long:
Jay in Hurlethill Wood
Golden Plover at Arkleston Farm
Green Sandpiper beside the Hurlet
And a Shelduck reported to the bird atlas.
Must try harder!
