Today started with a Dipper speeding under the Benalder Street Bridge in Yorkhill. This afternoon, a walk through the Barrhead Dams found Balgray, Ryatt Linn and Waulkmill Glen Reservoirs all completely frozen. As a result, the normally quiet Littleton Reservoir was packed with birds. Most notable were 30 Teal and two Wigeon, neither of which are regular here. Also unusual (but not unexpected) was a Snipe which flew up from the feeder channel. A notable concentration of 33 Mute Swans was complemented by 5 Whoopers (with five more overhead). The second Dipper of the day was on the lade channel and the hedgerows in Waulkmill Glen were full of Fieldfares, Blackbirds and Redwings.
