Hogganfield in the Snow

Today was the second last winter feeding event to be held by the RSPB Glasgow Local Group at Hogganfield Park LNR in Glasgow. Normally these take place between 12 noon and 2pm. However, due to the poor weather conditions (and lack of visitors) four of us only spent 45 minutes there today, albeit the usual amount of barley was fed to the swans and other wildfowl. Yet again there were 32 Whooper Swans present, a really impressive number for a city site. However, viewing conditions were poor with a northerly wind blowing snow straight towards the viewing/feeding platform. A record shot, to prove we were there follows!

A big thank you to John (GCC- Countryside Ranger) for also helping. See you all on 10 March 2013 for the final winter feeding session of the season.
