South Cardonald was full of birds today. For instance two Nuthatches were feeding on scattered birdseed, six Blackbirds were feeding on the path up to the Moulin footbridge and thirty Mallards were between the river and the pond. Other good totals were 23 Robins, fourteen Great Tits, nine Coal Tits and 33 Magpies. The Virginia Creeper on the park gatehouse and the Acers along Crookston Road are looking fantastic. A good range of still-flowering plants added even more colour.
