There was much wing-flapping going on in the Paisley Raven nest this morning. Assuming hatching took place on 2nd April, and going by the estimates in Ferguson-Lees, Castell and Leech (2011), I would expect fledging to take place between 7th and 12th May. However the books say that birds often leave the nest before they can fly, so I will be watching out over the next few days. Last year, the young left the nest on 28th April so the timing this year seems about the same.
This evening, a walk along the river produced a couple of interesting records in the form of a Grey Heron fishing behind the estate, a female Goosander a little east of there and a Common Sandpiper under the Mosspark Railway Station Bridge.
