Friends Wildfowl Feeding

I helped with the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs wildfowl feeding event at Hogganfield Park LNR today. Despite the forecast there was a bright spell before the forecast rain came driving in.

It was good to see families of Whooper Swans, 30+ Gadwall and numerous Goosanders all within sight of the viewing platform although in all honesty we were too busy to do a 'count'.

Yes, despite the weather, people came out to feed the birds with bread and we supplemented this with our free barley. A few photos follow showing just how the weather changed.....................
