I paid yet another visit to Bingham's Pond yesterday and was pleased to see some clumps of Marsh Marigold flourishing in the gloom ....................

 

I also added another two bird species to my Bingham's Year List - Coal Tit and Grey Wagtail - now making it 34 for the year at this small west end Glasgow pond. In truth I was hoping for a flyover Osprey or at least a few Sand Martins!!!!
