Overnight snow scuppered any plans for a day away. Instead, had to be content with a walk home from Hawkhead in the rain. Nevertheless, managed to come up with several good sightings including: a small flock of Siskins and a single Treecreeper showing well in Alders in Hawkhead Estate Park; the young male Mute Swan (accompanied by a pair of Goosanders and a Mallard) on its usual stretch of the river; a Great spotted Woodpecker and 7 Long tailed Tits visiting the feeder at the west gate of Leverndale Hospital; a Red Fox padding across a stubble field near Cairnhill; at least 5 Goldcrests singing in conifers at the southern edge of Rosshall Park; a mixed flock of Redwings, Fieldfares and a single Mistle Thrush singing in treetops near Rosshall High School and a Song Thrush singing at the Cardonald Place farmstead.
Earlier in the day, a pair of Mallards (presumably the pair seen in past years) was prospecting the estate.
