The Glasgow City Council website for Richmond Park says it has “Bird watching in the nature pond heronry, kingfisher, otter, swans, summer and winter migrants”… and it’s not wrong. Fieldfare, Kingfisher and Heron all pictured there in the last week. #birds

A handsome Fieldfare scoffing berries at Richmond Park in Glasgow. These winter thrushes showed up in October and will be here until around April. There's often a mixed flock - Fieldfare and Redwing - showing around Glasgow Green/Dalmarnock/Richmond Park. #birds

Kingfisher holds steady as his perch sways in a GENTLE BREEZE (as opposed to the wild storm raging round here just now). Filmed on the Kelvin walkway in Glasgow a few days ago. #birds

If you're going to be windswept and interesting, all blustery and compelling, you might as well do it fifty feet up, perched on the roof of a Glasgow tenement. Heron in Battlefield. #birds

From the Promenade at Grange-over-Sands in Cumbria, there are huge open skies, hundreds of waders out on the sands of Morecambe bay, and dozens of Snipe, some Water Rail and a few Egrets in the long grass. Little Egret and Great White Egret landing side-by-side for a size comparison. #birds

Kingfisher on the River Kelvin in Glasgow #birds

I stopped for a minute to look down to the River Kelvin from a bridge in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow and Crow came to check me out. Think it was disappointed I didn't have any snacks to give but still posed up for a few snaps before flying off. #birds

A beautiful female Kestrel perched up watching for prey, at Longhaugh Point with the Clyde in the background. #birds
