A frustrating day today with work to do but major connectivity problems. The songs of a Blackcap and a Whitethroat wafting through the window didn't help much. Eventually gave up about 4pm and went for a walk along the river. More singing Whitethroats were at two sites with  Chiffchaffs also at two and a calling Willow Warbler at one. One of the singing Chiffchaffs was answered by a hidden bird nearby, giving the characteristic "squeaky toy" contact call.
A juvenile Goosander on the river was associating with nine young Mallards. A female Mallard at Bull Wood had two tiny ducklings. Finally, a pair of Bullfinches bounded away when I disturbed them feeding. Highlight of the walk was the wonderful display of wild rose at several sites. One large bush on the waterside had shed petals underneath it lying like fallen snow. Another bush, near Rosshall Park, had scrambled several metres up the surrounding conifers. All had a lovely, delicate fragrance.

An evening walk around Glasgow's West End produced a singing Song Thrush, a newly-fledged Great Tit and a single, high-flying Swift.
