A walk from Cardonald to Pollokshaws first thing this morning produced a number of interesting sightings including:
Kingfishers at four sites (although probably just involving two individuals).
Dippers at two sites: under Shawholm Bridge and on the river beside Holmbank Avenue.
Recently-used Sparrowhawk plucking areas at two sites.
New additions to some of my 1km square species lists including Kingfisher and Mute Swan for Cardonald, Jay for Pollok Country Park (sw corner) and Buzzard for Pollok Country Park (visitor centre).
Greenfinches singing at four sites.
Magpies, Carrion Crows and Jackdaws all showing signs of nest-building.
A pair of Mute Swans at a new site behind Cardonald Animal Re-homing Centre.
Pre-migration, tree-top assemblies of winter thrushes including 40 at Linthaugh road bridge (consisting of 15 “chak”-ing Fieldfares and 25 singing Redwings) and 15 Redwings (singing) near the east gate of Pollok Park  (with c40 singing Starlings in another tree).
Drake Goosanders at two sites (Pollok Country Park and Holmbank Avenue), possibly local breeders with mates already on nests.
A Jay flying up from the ground just east of the M77 underpass.
A pair of Buzzards displaying over Pollok Park.
