Two Jays and a Common Buzzard were near the Hurlet Crematorium this lunchtime.  

A very rainy afternoon walking around (the open sections of) Balgray Reservoir Still managed to produce a nice selection of birds including Cormorant, Great Crested Grebe, Goldeneye, Goosander, Lapwing and Snipe. 

A rainy walk over to Pollokshaws produced only corvids, gulls and a few House Sparrows.  

Highlights of a brief stop at Loch of the Lowes today were Jay, Goldeneye, Wigeon and Cormorant.  

Fungi we're out in force along the banks of the River Tilt today but "no entry" signs blocked my attempt to check out the Blair Castle pond. The Cuilc only held Mallards and Moorhens. There were waxcaps on the golf course. No birds could be found at the Birks o' Aberfeldy due to torrential rain. 

A Kestrel was outside Crieff and two Red Kites were south of Amulree this afternoon. Earlier, a walk up to the Knock of Creiff produced numerous good fungi including Amythest Deceiver and Fly Agaric.

Some very welcome autumn sunshine brought a Small Tortoiseshell, two Painted Ladies and a Silver Y to the late-flowering plants in the Scottish Poetry Garden, Queen's Park this afternoon.
