I'm on my semi-regular Friday walk around the parks and green spaces of Sunny Govan (it was!). While I was down Holmfauld Road beside the new copper clad building my Merlin bird app identified a new bird I've not seen before - a white throat. It seems that it's a summer visitor from Africa.

There's a fair few birds in the waste bits of ground down close to the Clyde with wrens, goldfinches (lots of them), willow warbler as well as the usual suspects of blackbirds, magpies, crows and sparrows.

Has anyone listed all the species of birds in Govan? Feathered variety!

Just how bad are these roadworks? While I've been getting the train or bus in to work mostly, I drove this morning. Even before 8am it took nearly ten minutes to travel through these roadworks and there's very little sign of anything changing in the last 4wk. My wife said that she's seen two accidents in the queue to the cones as people shunt.

While I can see that it's the cattle-grid drain cover that's the problem, why is it taking so long to do anything? Why do they not split off the traffic into two lanes, the left going to St James roundabout and the right onto the viaduct? Even if there's a 30mph limit that would seem to give a better flow.

Who would I call to complain about these?
