I started the Blog in April 2012 as a replacement to my old web site 'Birds of Greater Glasgow' which suffered when my old computer 'died'! Initially, only a few people showed any interest in my ramblings but over the last few months I have been getting over 1,000 views per month! The current total stands at 13,225 'views'; so thanks once again.
In view of this interest, I intend to expand the Blog and add extra pages - see top of the page for a link to a page that will be devoted solely to Hogganfield Park LNR.
Now some advance notice of a couple of events that are taking place over the next few weeks.........
On Friday 10 January 2014, Iain Livingstone, secretary of the Clyde Ringing Group (CRG), will be presenting an illustrated talk to the RSPB Glasgow Local Group on 'ringing'. Iain is an extremely well respected local birder and has published a number of papers perhaps the most notable being the work he did on white wagtails. Having said a few words about the CRG, he will use a series of photographs of birds in the hand to describe anatomical and plumage details. He will also report on the species he encountered in a ringing trip to Lithuania.
Venue: Adelaides, 209 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4HZ. Time: 7.30pm; doors open at 7pm

The second event takes place at Hogganfield Park LNR on Sunday 12 January 2014 from 12 noon to 1pm when the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs will be hosting another 'wildfowl feeding' session. Come along and help feed the swans, ducks and geese with free barley - you will also get some wonderful photo opportunities, as illustrated below ........................

Finally, I still have an extremely limited supply of wall & desk calendars featuring wildlife from Brazil; anyone interested can contact me at j.coyle13@ntlworld.com and I could arrange to bring them along to the above events .......
