Weekly Update

I have spent much of the past week submitting grant applications on behalf of the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs but did manage out to Baron's Haugh RSPB Reserve and Carbarns Pool with the RSPB Glasgow Local Group on Wednesday. Thanks to Mike and Judith for the lift. Nineteen people turned up - testament to all of Mike & Judith's hard work and organisational skills.

I personally saw around 45 bird species with my highlights being a Green Sandpiper and a good few Whooper Swans at Baron's Haugh and a Black-tailed Godwit at Carbarns Pool.
