On another wet day in south Cardonald, all the local corvids were alarmed about something mid-morning. At least forty Jackdaws congregated noisily in two trees near  the top of Dundee Drive and lots of Carrion Crows and Magpies joined the general clamour over a wide area stretching down to the river and across to Pollok Wood. I was unable to see what was causing the alarm. Later, two pairs of Carrion Crows got into a fight on the grass at Moulin. At first, two birds pinned another down on the ground, but the latter's mate arrived and proceded to wrestle with one of the attacking birds. This led to the unusual sight of two violent struggles going on side by side. Once the fighting ended, all four birds adopted threat postures with one pair slowly forcing the other pair to walk walk away. Also of note today was an adult Herring Gull (about ten seem to be wintering locally) being pursued by a begging juvenile. I had assumed adults and juveniles would have split up by now but apparently not.
