Over five hours of walking in south Glasgow added only two new species to the local atlas tetrad lists (Blackcap to NS56W [Govanhill] and Raven to NS56K [Kennieshead/Pollokshaws]). However a number of good birds were seen including Mallards with newly hatched young at Battlefield and Pollok Park, Coot with newly hatched young in Richmond Park, Swallows visiting nest sites at Pollok stables, four Swifts low over the Cart at Battlefield and a female Goosander with a single young at Lochar Park. Swallows were encountered at three urban sites, Pied Wagtails at two and singing Willow Warblers also at two (three birds involved). The Raven was a rather ragged-looking bird being chased by two Jackdaws over Pollok House.
