An early walk to Battlefield threw up some good sightings (among the 28 species recorded). First was a Moorhen on the river at the end of the estate - the first I've seen there for a few years (another was near the main gate of Pollok Park). Another first for a long time was a Cormorant on the "roosting tree" beside Linthaugh Road (with another near the Corkerhill Road gate). Two Carrion Crow X Hoodie hybrids were seen - a dark bird along Linthaugh Road and an almost pure Hoodie west of Pollok House. Winter thrushes were thin on the ground with only one each of Redwing, Fieldfare and Mistle Thrush (although an unidentified flock flew over Pollok). The final stretch of the Cart (at Battlefield) produced a Grey Wagtail and three redhead Goosanders. Birds added to my 1km square lists were two Pied Wagtails seen in the SE corner of Pollok Park (taking the square total to 44) and the Carrion X Hoodie Hybrid at Cardonald (taking that total to 50).
