Another day off, so another early start. Decided to do some atlassing in SW Glasgow and was at Snuffmill Bridge by 8am. The river there was quiet, but both Dipper and Kingfisher were present further west. Mallards were at several sites and one female had a single duckling. Warblers were not particularly evident, with no Willow Warblers or Chiffchaffs heard. However four Blackcaps were in song including two behind Cathcart Station. Also notable were four Swallows looking like they might be nesting in the "Electricity Board" complex.
Over at King's Park, at least two Stock Doves were in song, together with both Song and Mistle Thrush. Starlings were feeding young and both Long-tailed Tit and Siskin were acting as if they had nests to protect. 
Back in Cathcart, two singing Collared Doves were a satisfying conclusion to an intensive search for the species.
