Never knowingly seen before (by me)

Could be a chaffinch?

Looks the best fit. There are a few stands of large conifers nearby.

Me too. Lucky man, hard to get good views of them.

Saw two metallic blue kingfishers along the White Cart river in Linn Park, Glasgow, this morning.

It was overcast and a beautiful 16°C! 😍

Just had a wee spot of birdwatching with my wife and father in law. Totally bonkers really - 30 degrees.  But saw quite a few waders, highlights being a greenshank, about 8 green sandpipers, plenty of common snipe and ruff and black tailed godwits. Loads of dragonflies, esp broad bodied chasers and a huge brown hawker. And small copper butterfly.
