Using up some annual leave today, so managed to visit quite a few birding sites. First stop was the Broomhill / Partick area of Glasgow where 7 Waxwings were commuting between some tall trees beside the Clydeside Expressway and some bushes in Crawford Street (see photo below - honest!). Also in that general area, Moorhens were nest-building on the main pond in Victoria Park with two Mistle Thrushes and two Song Thrushes nearby.

Over to Helensburgh and the triangular pond off Luss Road. The pond itself held Teal, Little Grebe and Canada Goose while nearby there were Goosanders, Buzzards, Common Gulls, singing Skylarks and a single Curlew.

Finally, all was quiet at Ardmore Point with few birds offshore and the only notable record being twenty Red breasted Mergansers.
