The journey up the M8 at lunchtime produced now 25-30 Whooper Swans feeding on stubble with hundreds of greay geese (presumably Greylags and Pinkfeet). later, the usual walk along the river found lots of Redwings feeding in the leaf litter and five Chaffinches flying up up from underneath a Beech tree. Back home, three Bulfinches visited the garden feeders and a male Blackbird took berries from the Pyracantha growing through the Beech hedge.
