Had a very eventful walk along a snowy and very beautiful Cart as far as Paisley and back. Best sightings involved two species I have never seen locally before (a pair of Teal and up to 10 female-type Goldeneye) and one I rarely see (a party of 6 Redpolls). In the woods, Song Thrush, Redwing, Dunnock, Robin and Wren were feeding in the leaf litter. Overhead, small parties of Greenfinch and Goldfinch were starting to sing. Higher still, a flock of 38 Greylag Geese flew over, heading West. The view along the river, with the winter sunshine filtering through the mist (and backlighting Goldeneye, Mallards and a Little Grebe) was stunning.
