    My wife, daughter and I were just off Byers Rd in Glasgow this morning. As we passed a small clearing, a small bird caught my eye. Sitting on a branch was a Pied Flycatcher. It was away before we could get any pics. It's the first Pied Flycatcher I've seen in years. I don't know if they are common on that side of the city, or maybe it was just passing through, but I'm delighted to have seen it.

    A few from a very quiet Colgagh, i was there for a few hours on Saturday morning and only for a pair of little Grebes and a pair of Moorhens nesting nearby there was next to no birdlife on the loch, i'm sure it will pick up as the weeks go on and there'll be a few more species to see.

    My family and I went to Helensburgh for the day yestrday. great day, but there wasn't much happening as far as wildlife was concerned. Highlight of the day was a 1st year Great Black Back Gull. Absolutely massive. We went a wee walk along the waterfront and saw a RSPA guy looking down into the rocks on the beach. I asked what was wrong. He told me someone had reported a Gull had fallen into the cracks in the rocks and he was trying to get it out. He said he'd been there for about an hour. We asked if he needed any help but just then he managed to catch the Gull by it's neck and pull it up. The Gull was covered in blood all down it's front, but after a couple of minutes, it flew away. The RSPA guy did well.
