Birds on the Move!

Say goodbye to summer! From a bird's point of view it is now autumn and many are on the move.

If you are a fan of waders, start looking at pools and ponds as anything could turn up. A safe bet would be to visit Baron's Haugh RSPB Reserve near Motherwell.


Baron's Haugh - 31 July 2013

For example, over the last few days, Green Sandpiper, Greenshank, Ruff, Black-tailed Godwit and Snipe have been seen there (courtesy of SOC Clyde Grapevine).

As well as looking out for waders, check for tit/warbler flocks in parks and even your garden. We have had a few Willow Warblers feeding in our Anniesland garden for a number of days now.

There's lots to see, so get out and enjoy Glasgow's wildlife!
