A coffee stop at RSPB Loch Leven this lunchtime confirmed that Tree Sparrows were still present between the visitor centre and the car park. A Swallow's nest under the eaves had young ready to fledge.

Because this turned out to be such a busy day, I only had a brief time window to do a partial count of the singing birds in Newlands Park. Best was a Song Thrush. Later, a Mistle Thrush was singing outside the Victoria Infirmary.  

I finished yesterday's walk today, then walked from the centre of East Kilbride to Cambuslang. Most interesting site was the park along the Kirk Burn where I found nesting Grey Wagtails and flowering Sweet Woodruff. 

Today's walk took me from Rutherglen up to the Kingsgate Retail Park on the edge of East Kilbride. Some highlights included several singing Whitethroats (above the traffic on the A749), flowering Northern marsh Orchid and at least two Tree Sparrows. 

Notable records from Queen's Park today were three female Tufted Ducks sleeping in the middle of the boating pond (not a great sign, I'm afraid, as it suggests that they don't have eggs to incubate) and the usual Mistle Thrush pair gathering food for a second (or even third) brood. An Oystercatcher called over Shawlands in the evening.
