15 Feb 10 Cathkin

A mid afternoon visit, the wind was light westerly but it was cold with a temperature of only 6 degrees.

A female Kestrel was on top of a bush adjacient to the dump and another, a male, was also present near the Carmunock end. There were now fewer birds at the feeding site but Yellowhammer numbers were still perhaps c35. There was also c25 House Sparrows and at least 3 Tree Sparrows. Reed Buntings numbered 15-20 and c10 Chaffinches remained.

A Buzzard was seen high above the aear towards Cathkin Marsh and a further 2 were being mobbed by corvids in the Big Wood. Both Redpoll and Siskin were present. The latter was seen in flight and the former heard. A Heron was in the Windlaw Marsh.

Yellowhammers still remain in good numbers:
