Highlights of a damp walk along the river as far as Paisley consisted of three Goosanders along the Moulin stretch together with a Little Grebe (not usually present here), 25 Redwings whistling softly in a treetop near Rosshall School, a Moorhen along the Catering School stretch (again not regular here), two Stock Doves in a tree top in Rosshall Park (with a Great Spotted Woodpecker calling nearby), Mistle Thrushes singing at two sites, a Raven calling from the tower in Leverndale Hospital grounds, up to 100 Chaffinches and 20 Fieldfares on stubble near the Leverndale Hospital west gate, a Cormorant over the Bull Wood stretch, 100 mixed corvids (mostly Jackdaws) on fields near Rosshall Mains, a Buzzard over Hawkhead Estate football field and a mixed flock of 50 Siskins and 20 Goldfinches on Alders in Hawkhead Estate Park. All made up for a pitiful Garden Birdwatch" with only nine birds of six species seen.
