Garden visitors today included a single Collared Dove, a male Bullfinch (could the female be incubating?) and, unusually, a pair of Greenfinches.
An afternoon walk through Pollok Country Park produced a number of interesting sightings including a singing Whitethroat near Corkerhill Road (where one sang last year), a female Mallard with a brood of 5 ducklings near the M77 underpass, at least a dozen male Orange Tip Butterflies along a short stretch of grassy bank (with Cuckoo Flower), a female Goosander between the golf courses and two Swallows over the Visitor Centre. Huge numbers of people in the park made finding anything else difficult. Certainly there were no Grey Wagtails at their traditional site near the weir, although I thought I heard one half a mile further west.
Back home, the Collared Dove may have fallen prey to the local Sparrowhawk - a pile of buff feathers on the lawn seemed to suggest as much.
