Walked from Cardonald to Paisley first thing. Notable records included numerous singing Robins (and a few singing Wrens), Swallows still active over Hawkhead Estate and Ross House, a large flock of small finches (Siskins and Redpolls) in Alders at Hawkhead (with a Bullfinch also there), three Mistle Thrushes feeding on grass at Paisley "Castle", swollen numbers of corvids and pigeons on newly-cut hay and two Chickens (!) in a yard on Blackhall Street.
That last sighting goes onto my list of "Things you don't expect to see on the cycle path from Cardonald to Paisley". Others have included:
A canoeist (stuck on rocks).
A serious (as opposed to opportunistic) fisherman (complete with waders)
Plenty of horseriders (but also a single white horse being loaded into a horsebox).
A camper (brave soul).
Plenty of motorcyclists (Bah!).
Other birdwatchers (only two in something like 12 years of walking here).
