A walk around the local patch in South Cardonald this morning produced a good 27 species including late singing Blackcap (2) and Willow Warbler (1), a pair of Bullfinches, fledged Blue Tits and Robins, a pair of Stock Doves and still lots of song from resident birds, particularly Wren, Blackbird and Song Thrush (3). The council has flailed the paths around the area, clearing quite large areas of encroaching vegetation.
Later, a Buzzard was being mobbed by crows over Montgomery Court near Arkleston Farm. Incidentally, most of the fields in Arkleston Farm have been left unplanted this year and are now covered with rank grassland and weeds. Presumably the tenants are finding their sand and gravel business so lucrative that it is no longer worth raising crops.
