Took advantage of a mild and sunny day to walk home from Pollok Roundabout. Common birds were in the majority along most of the route. The only exceptions were a single Redwing just before Mosspark Station and a Moorhen (by no means regularly recorded) a little further west. The most interesting sighting actually concerned a fungus. On a south-facing bank of mown grass off Dowrie Crescent, were two white fruiting bodies. They were about 2-3 cm across with a short stem (less than 1 cm), prominent gills and a velvety texture. On checking the books, the most likely candidate seems to be Clitopilus prunnulus. This is a widespread and common species (although I'd never seen it before) known by its common name The Miller.
