Spent a lovely mild, calm afternoon in Mugdock Park. Amazed at the absence of bird life. I don't think I saw a single bird (apart from Mallards and gulls on the pond) the whole afternoon (although it was primarily a family trip so I wasn't trying too hard). However the profusion of flowering plants (and attendant bees, butterflies and other insects) more than made up for it. Most notable were Rosebay and Greater Willowherb, Common Knapweed, Thistles, Oxeye Daisy, Corn Sow-thistle, Cow Parsley, Meadowsweet and Common Ragwort.
