Mugdock Country Park was alive with birds this afternoon. At least 17 Goosander and two pairs of Goldeneye were on Mugdock Loch. The male Goosanders were displaying and bickering amongst themselves, their soft growls drifting across the water. First one, then two Crossbills flew over the loch. At least another seven were near the visitor centre. Common Buzzards (possibly the same individual) were over the Archery field, Craigend Loch and Gallows Pond (another was soaring over my back garden in Cardonald at lunchtime). Other notable sightings included a dead Carp in Gallows Pond and flowering Snowdrops (my first of the year) on the north side of Mugdock Castle.
