An early morning walk to Paisley in the pouring rain produced only a few Mallards on the river. However as the rain started to ease, over 100 mixed corvids settled to feed on stubble. A small group of Blackbirds and Song Thrushes (two of each) feeding on Elderberries was probably the first of many winter thrush flocks. Also notable were three Grey Squirrels (at various points) and a Roe Deer in the meadow at Leverndale..
An afternoon walk to Pollock Park Visitor Centre found the usual Hooded Crow in the show field (pictures below). No sign of any Nuthatches at the walled Garden, but a nice female Sparrowhawk was easily outmanoeuvering the crows as it soared overhead. Heading back to Corkerhill Road, over twenty agitated corvids along a shelter belt suggested another raptor was about. However the commotion proved to be due to a captive Harris's Hawk being exercised nearby (19,309).
