Pollok Park was fairly quiet this evening, although plenty of Swallows and Goldfinches were twittering overhead.
Back home, eight Canada Geese were low over south Cardonald heading south-east. This is a new species for me for my home 1km square, taking my total to 66.

Large flocks of seagulls over the office this afternoon - probably 200-300 - taking advantage of the warm thermals. May have been a coincidence but we also had 4 oyster catchers walking all over the car park all afternoon. I think it was a male and female and two young ones. Hope they can get back to the river, it's several miles.
Hi Guinivere200,
it is always nice to see Oystercatchers in urban settings (I once saw one flying between the high flats at Tarfside Oval in Cardonald). They have taken to nesting on the tops of buildings over the past few decades (perhaps they always did) so your birds might have been breeding nearby.
There is a good chance that the gulls were feeding on flying ants. These hatch out on warm days and take to the air en masse, often attracting gulls, crows, swallows and anything else that will eat them.
