Latest Sightings and Bingham's Pond

Latest sightings in the Glasgow area, courtesy of the SOC Clyde Grapevine:

25 September 2013

The drake Blue-winged Teal and a Ruff still on Frankfield Loch.

Nearby, an adult and a juvenile Sandwich Tern west over Hogganfield Loch at 0930 hrs.
An Otter fishing upstream of the White Bridge, Linn Park at 1745 hrs.

Meanwhile I visited Bingham's Pond today and was pleased to see that the numbers of Moorhen remain relatively high at 20 birds, including a good number of juveniles. To think a few years ago, before it's naturalisation, there were few, if any, records of Moorhen at the pond!

I was also pleased to see a Council officer doing a good job of de-littering and generally tidying up this small 'park'.
