In spite of the heavy engineering work going on to build the new bridge, the centre of Govan was alive with birds when I visited today. Feral Pigeons and Black-headed Gulls made up the majority of the individuals present but twelve Long-tailed Tits arriving from the Partick side of the Clyde were also of interest. The resilence of urban wildlife was exemplified by the local Mute Swans which were loafing on the Kelvinmouth slipway as they habitually do, in spite of the deafening noise of the pile driver operating just a few metres away.
