Today was a red-letter day with the first singing Willow Warbler and Blackcap of the year for my local patch in south Cardonald.
This afternoon, a walk home from Foxbar in Paisley produced singing Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff in Durrockstock Park (plus naturalised London Pride) and a good selection of birds around Stanely Dam including Canada Goose, Cormorant, Great-crested Grebe, 50+ Sand Martins and my first four Swallows of the year. Also in the area were a Dipper on the lade channel and an interesting flower on the reservoir embankment (below).
