A probable 2nd-winter Yellow-legged Gull at the Balgray Reservoir roost (present for a fortnight), also a probable Siberian Chiffchaff in the hedge beside the jetties; nearby, the immature Long-tailed Duck still on Waulkmill Glen Reservoir where there is an impressive number of wildfowl due to the lowering of the water this summer.
A male Blackcap in a Sween Avenue, Cathcart garden.
