Waxwings Galore

Over the past week, Waxwings have been reported from north, south and west Glasgow. 

I saw c35 in Govanhill Park on the 19th along with Redwings and Fieldfare

The Waxwings were 'new' for the year as was the Smew on the Barr Loch at RSPB Lochwinnoch on the 21st on our weekly outing with Stephen - 50 species seen.

We also travelled to Greenock and Gourock with Judith and Mike on the 18th and we managed 33 species before the rain arrived in dismal conditions!

During the rest of the week I managed a few visits to Bingham's Pond for general birding plus the Webs count/Black-headed Gull survey on Sunday 15th. The Sunday had everything with dark dismal conditions one minute followed by sunshine followed by rain - 2 photos taken c10 minutes apart give an idea of the changing conditions

Over the week I saw 64 species adding two to my 'Scottish year list' and one to my 'Bingham's Pond year list.' Any more to be found before the end of the year?
