I met a very helpful Council official at Dawsholm Park today to agree details of a forthcoming event being organised by the Friends of Glasgow's Local Nature Reserves. The event - 'D' in the Park - will be held on Sunday 9 September 2012 and will be aimed at helping people to 'Discover Dawsholm' and help make it even better for people and wildlife. More details will be released over the next few weeks - also see the web site http://friendsofglasgowlnrs.wordpress.com
After the meeting, I spent some time in the Park but unfortunately most of the paths were unpassable without 'wellies'.
I did manage to see 15 species of bird as well as lots of Large White buttterflies. Some of the flowers were still looking good including this Foxglove..........................................
It was also good to see the Highland Cattle back................................
On another front, it was D Day for 'ants' in our Estate as today was the day that they starting to swarm. The following photo shows a few 'emerging'.......................................................
Amazingly, as per previous years, a large flock of birds, mainly gulls, quickly became aware of a potential feast and circled the Estate devouring the ants as they rose into the sky!
It was good to get a decent day and get out at long last. Hopefully the next post won't take so long!
