Those prophets of doom at the BBC Weather Centre were at it again today - forecasting heavy rain for most of the day. As it transpired (sorry!), the afternoon was perfectly fine. A walk from Barrhead to Foxbar up and over the Ferenese and Gleniffer Braes took place in bright sunshine, although there were showers visible at various points in the distance.
The walk up from Barrhead was fairly steep but provided some great views to the east. Birds were few, due to the windy weather, but two Ravens were on one of the golf course fairways. Heading to the junction with the Killoch Glen path, came across a large rock with "Cup and Ring" carvings (although they looked remarkably recent to me). Further on, a small bluff south of Glenburn Reservoir gave great views to the north. Green-viened Whites were feeding on Devil's Bit Scabious and both Skylark and Meadow Pipit were seen.
Two Linnets were at Paisley Golf Course and a family party of Coal Tits was in one of the shelter belts near the Seargent Law road.
