East Dunbartonshire, Milngavie and Bearsden
Mistle thrush (Turdus viscivorus) taken in a Milngavie garden by Rebecca Dickson. Its upright stance, generally grey appearance and whitish edges to the wing feathers distinguish it from a Song thrush, which is a browner bird.

A Male Bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula), taken by Rebecca Dickson in Milngavie. Males have a striking red-pink breast which distinguishes them from the paler females. According to the latest RSPB figures, the breeding population in the UK is around 190,000. Bullfinches have a massive beak which helps them to crack seeds open, but they also eat insects, buds and berries, in this case Honeysuckle (Lonicera sp). This bird was once considered a 'pest' of fruit crops.
