A short walk through Leverndale Hospital grounds over lunchtime found 50+ Fieldfares feeding on adjacent stubble and flying back to the treetops at the slightest disturbance. Around 20 Starlings and a few Chaffinches were doing the same. A Mistle Thrush was singing far away over in the direction of Cairnhill and a Song Thrush flushed from the undergrowth perched low down in a tree and started to sing a quiet little sub-song with much mimicry. On the way back he flew up into an nearby tree with a second bird, presumably his mate. On the river, a male Goosander was displaying to his mate. The display consisted of a slow, vertical stretch of the neck. Two pairs of Mallards nearby couldn't compete. However three Wrens were singing loudly and a Great spotted Woodpecker called briefly.
Much needed colour was provided by a big patch of Daffodils beside the river and a few Lesser Celandine flowers in the woods.
