With Glasgow residents back to being confined to the area within the council boundary (and five miles outside), the Kilpatrick Hills again provided an opportunity to get into the uplands whilst keeping to the regulations. A walk up to the slacks, then over to Loch Humphrey and back down the long road produced some notable sightings (or soundings) including Green Woodpecker, Cuckoo, Wheatear, and Raven with Stonechats at three sites (with young at one) and numerous singing Tree Pipits, Meadow Pipits and Skylarks. Unfortunately Whinchats failed to show (there were several territories last year). Plants included Yellow Pimpernel, Mossy Saxifrage, Navelwort and Solomon's Seal. Late in the afternoon, around ten Sand Martins were feeding over the Kelvin in Glasgow's west end.
