Judging by the 'vacated' mines on this Hazel leaf there was a bit of a Stigmella microtheriella party going on (Kelvin Walkway)

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.

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!

Finished the week very much how i started it, with very little to report.
Found a November Moth agg on the gable end of the Cafe on the Canal and some nice early morning light over Possil Marsh.

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.

No walk taken due to the wet weather but the Tesco windows produced this Mayfly sp.
No rain forecast for tomorrow so hopefully there'll be more to report.
