With the Lanarkishire Common Crane going AWOL this morning, I decided to change my plans and visit Pollok Country Park instead. I had seen a photograph posted on BlueSky showing dozens of Daffodils in flower in front of Pollok House and I wanted to check it out as I have only seen two plants flowering so far this year. In the event, the photo must have been taken in a previous spring as every daffodil in the park (I felt like I checked them all) was still in bud. I spent three hours having a really good look around the south of the park and finished up with a bird list of 37 species (plus two mammals: Grey Squirrel and Roe Deer). Notable bird species included a pair of Teal (my first site record of the species, as far as I can remember), seven Stock Doves (including one in song), two Cormorants, an immature Grey Heron, two Common Buzzards, a Great Spotted Woodpecker, three Jays, five Nuthatches, a Treecreeper, three Mistle Thrushes (one in song), two Redwings and five finch species. Notable plants remain scarce (I found one Cherry Plum in flower and a row of Alder trees) and any insect at all completely absent.
