Seven Lochs Area - sightings

The Seven Lochs Project area extends from Hogganfield Loch in Glasgow to Lochend, Woodend and Garnqueeen Lochs in North Lanarkshire - see previous posts for more information on the Project.

Courtesy of the SOC Clyde Area Grapevine, I can report the following recent sightings from the project area:

17 October 2012
Five female/immature Scaup and twelve Gadwall at Bishop Loch.

Bishop Loch (a Site of Special Scientific Interest) is underwatched, partly due to there being limited formal access. It can be viewed from the paths of Bishop Loch LNR (see http://friendsofglasgowlnrs.wordpress.com and click on Local Nature Reserves/Bishop Loch for a location plan) but views can be limited without a telescope.
