A Nuthatch and a Redwing were the highlights of a walk through Pollok Park this afternoon. Maxwell Park Pond held two Mute Swans and five Tufted Duck. 

A Grey Heron was at the waterfall next to Shaw Bridge again this lunchtime. I wonder if it will stay there for the winter. Also, a Kingfisher zoomed by.

There were lots of good birds in the Pentland Hills today including Jay, Raven, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Buzzard, Redpoll and Skylark.

Plenty of waxcaps and other fungi were popping up on the mown lawns around south Woodfarm and Eastwood Park today. Four Redwings at the latter site were my first of the "winter". 

Robins continue to dominate the soundscape in Shawlands.  

Birds at Lunderston Bay today included Raven (a configing bird on the beach), Stonechat (at two sites) and Eider (an unusually large flock near the marina). 

I found Dipper at two sites and Kingfisher at one during today's walk around Livingston. Also notable were a couple of Red Admiral butterflies and a Crab Apple tree.
