Set up a temp hide near the River Clyde, Glasgow at the old dry docks and set up a feeding station to see what turned up. Always nice when migrant birds turn up. Just record shots of what happens by. As always the usual birds to turn up first are the Blue Tits and Great Tits followed by Chaffinches, Dunnocks, Wren and Robins. And what birds happen by on the Clyde to my left.
Had to give up the feeders eventually as school dogging kids kept throwing feeders into the Clyde when I was not about. :(
