Up and away early to do some atlassing at Cambuslang. A piece of rough ground sandwiched between the DHL depot and the Clyde proved to be particularly productive with Kestrel, Buzzard, Grey Wagtail, Grey Heron, Greylag Goose and Reed Bunting all added. The adjacent river had Goosander, Mallard, Cormorant and a nice pair of Teal. Quarrybank Park was particularly good for birds with at least four Mistle Thrushes, 20 Goldfinches and a flock of Long-tailed Tits all present. The tetrad total is looking a bit healthier (33 species added) but still needs a bit of work.
This afternoon, a spare half hour to wait at the rugby club allowed a quick scoot around Knightswood Park. Around 90 Starlings were starting a murmuration but a couple of Goldcrests were the only new bird for the tetrad.
