Bingham's Pond Update and Illustrated Talk

A late afternoon visit to Bingham's Pond today (17 November 2014) may have helped answer the question of why there appeared to be a swift uptake of food from the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs bird feeding station - the 'culprits' appear to be Grey Squirrels rather than hordes of hungry birds!

I can also report that there are no longer 6 juvenile Mute Swans at the Pond but there are now 2 adults and 2 juveniles. We await the next episode of our very own soap 'Swan lake'.

Finally, news of a free illustrated talk taking place on Wednesday evening (19th) hosted by the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs.

The venue is the Gilchrist Postgraduate Club seminar room in the Main Building of the University.

The main speaker is Eilidh Malcolm (Forestry Commission Scotland) with a talk entitled "Easterhouse Woods - past, present and future." 

Doors open at 18.30hrs for free tea and coffee.  

The evening will start at 19.00hrs with a brief overview of recent and forthcoming 'Friends' events with Eilidh commencing at 19.15hrs. Her talk will be of interest to anyone with a love of wildlife and will focus on Cardowan Moss and Bishop Loch LNRs.
