Hogganfield Park - back to winter!

After last Tuesday's visit to the park in glorious sunshine, unfortunately the RSPB Glasgow Local Group's last wildfowl feeding session for the season fell foul to wintery showers!

Thanks to those that braved the weather, there was the odd sunny period that lasted for around 10 minutes before the next wave of snow showers blew in; 'atmospheric' photo follows!

There were  still 11 Whooper Swans present and Goosanders and Goldeneye gave close-up views...............................................

However, in the end, the weather won.
 
A big thank you to all those that attended and/or helped at the wildfowl feeding events.
 
Hogganfield is a great place to visit at anytime, so keep an eye on this blog for sightings updates over the year AND get yourselves along and see for yourself; you won't regret it!

  1. Hi Jim, I stopped off at Hogganfield on Saturday briefly, and amidst the choppy waves, a pair of Great Crested Grebes looked magnificent in their full breeding regalia. they were pretty far out, but no matter how often I visit there, I can never get used to how close you can get to species like goosander and tufted ducks.
