A good walk to Nitshill first thing enabled exploration of some unfamiliar areas including the southern edge of Pollock Park, Cowglen and Arden. Bird of the day was Bullfinch with small groups at various sites. Also notable were 5 Roe Deer, a Great spotted Woodpecker and a nesting pair of Buzzards, all in an isolated patch of woodland near the M77. Also notable were two late Redwings and two singing Chiffchaffs (at the glade and Kennishead). Pictures below show the ns&l building at Cowglen, the five Roe Deer and some studies of the Potala.

An evening trip to Ardrossan and Largs was cold but calm.
