Hogganfield Park LNR

This afternoon I visited Hogganfield Park LNR and bumped into a nice group of walkers and  countryside ranger from West Dunbartonshire. They certainly seemed to have enjoyed their visit and will hopefully return in the near future.

I also had discussions with a Glasgow City Council officer regarding two potential projects that are being considered for the LNR - more information to follow!

On the birding front I saw 32 different species with the highlights being 2 Ruddy Duck and impressive counts of 32 Gadwall, 17 Little Grebe and 82 Coot plus 12 Teal, 3 Pochard, 2 Wigeon and 4 Great Crested Grebe. I also managed to see a female Blackcap and a Goldcrest with a small tit flock.
