Got a nice surprise on my early morning walk along the Kelvin Walkway.
My first ever patch Yellow-line Quaker 😃 I found it on a fence post near the old flint mill.

-6°c overnight made for a very cold walk to Asda, Summerston. The only highlights along the way were 4 Roe Deer & a single Common Buzzard.

Another bitterly cold start to the day resulted in the canal being frozen over and these were the only photographic opportunites ;
The boardwalk at Panmure Gate and an adult Common Gull, Lidl carpark.

What a difference a week makes and the bonus of some longed for winter weather conditions (very cold & sunny) resulted in 4 #foxes seen. Here's 2 of them.

If anyone's wondering, i'm still here. It's just that there's been nothing to see or photograph. The weather's not helping at all. Ok, it's been mild but lt's like there's no demarcation between night & day, just constantly dark 😩 God! I hate this time of year!

Stopped off at Bingham's Pond on my way to Anniesland and was quite surprised to see a Kingfisher. The surprise relates to the actual location of the pond. I've marked the pond on the map with a star and as you can see the bird was way out of it's usual river/canal habitat!

A winter plumaged Black-headed Gull loafing on Bingham's Pond, Glasgow. I love the colours of the surrounding autumnal leaves reflecting on the surface of the water.
