The daily bird count locally is consistently in the high twenties these days, helped by the increasing number of species in song. A Song Thrush continues to practice a few phrases in a tree near the Cardonald Palace footbridge, but hasn't broken into full song yet. Dunnock song is getting stronger by the day. Snowdrops are flowering at a few places along the river and some Daffodill shoots are pushing up strongly. Grey Wagtail was the only slightly unusual species.
