A walk back from Crookston to home produced some really notable sightings, beginning with at least 76 Waxwings in tall trees beside the convenience store on Crookston Road. The birds were gathering in the treetops, then dropping down to street level to feed on berry trees. A Dipper was singing round at the confluence of the Brock Burn and White Cart Water. In the park, an exceptional count of 13 Stock Doves included nine in a group feeding on the ground (where a dog walker had scattered some grain). There were more Woodpigeons in the area than of late with one group of 20 birds flying west. My best ever count of Moorhens in my home square consisted of two on Rosshall Park pond and two singles at different spots along the river. Siskins were present at several spots and a mixed finch flock in a corner of Pollok Wood consisted of six Bullfinches, two Siskins, two Goldfinches and a Chaffinch. A Treecreeper near the old cooking school was probably the most unusual sighting of the morning.
