I spent ninety minutes today surveying the birds in the northern two thirds of Pollok Country Park. Some of the highlights were single Buzzard and Sparrowhawk (the latter being chased by a crow)hawlands), a large flock of mixed tits (I think they thought I was coming to feed them), three Jays, three Nuthatches and five Stock Doves. Non-bird sightings included two Roe Deer (I rarely see them since I moved from south Cardonald to Shawlands), ten Grey Squirrels, two cap-forming fungi (a Flammulina species and Common Inkcap) along with several bracket species, emerging Snowdrop shoots and my first flowering Rhododendron of the "spring".
