A slightly later start this morning with the sun just coming up as I set off on the regular Sunday walk to Hyndland. 
Slightly unusual or local species during the first half of the walk were Greenfinch, Collared Dove, Long-tailed Tit, Pied Wagtail, Redwing, Fieldfare and two singing Wrens. Arriving at the Science Centre precinct, a high pitched flight call alerted me to a Meadow Pipit over the rough ground just south of Prince's Dock. The dock itself was partly frozen over, and up to 300 Black-headed Gulls (and a few Herring, Common and Lesser black-backed Gulls) were standing on the ice. A stunning drake Goldeneye was on the Kelvin opposite the new transport museum. A short way upstream, three redhead Goosanders were near the Benalder Street Bridge where a Great-spotted Woodpecker flew high over. Finally, over 150 Waxwings were in the Poplars at the west end of Beith Street (bottom photo). They were commuting across the expressway to small trees beside the Glasgow Harbour flats.
