The recent settled, cold conditions continued for my usual walk around south Cardonald, although puddles of water under pathside trees indicated that a thaw had begun. Two Nuthatches were active - one inspected a newly-installed nest box and a second (with two blue rings on its left leg) approached me, assuming I was coming to put out food. Three Goosanders (a duck and two drakes) were on the river, around eight Redwings "see-eeped" overhead and singing birds included Woodpigeon, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Wren and Robin.
