A Nuthatch in Linn Park, Glasgow near the stable gates; also three Otters showing well on the White Cart Water upstream from the White Bridge, and two Kingfishers nearby.

A site record count of 56 Gadwall on
Hogganfield Loch; also 17 Whooper Swans (7 juvs).
A juvenile Gannet flew west over Millichen Flood in the morning.
We visited Lochwinnoch RSPB Reserve yesterday (30 October 2013) and were pleased to see the recent publicised changes for ourselves - the new ponds next to the visitor centre looked impressive as did the upgrade to the centre itself......................
The new ponds from the Visitor Centre main window
The new ponds from the tower
The refurbished Visitor Centre and Tower
From a birding point of view we had a small flock of Redwing and Fieldfare; small flocks of Redpoll and Siskin and close up views of Great Spotted Woodpecker and common tits and finches at the feeders. A Buzzard also put on an impressive display before landing in a nearby tree.
We saw a few Snipe flying up from the marsh whilst the ponds were full of Mallard with a few Teal, Mute Swan and Tufted Duck.
As ever we were made most welcome by the staff - so why not pay them a visit?
