Rain Stops Play (and Birding)

Well it has been a dreich few days here in Glasgow; even today's Friends event at Hogganfield Park LNR has been cancelled due to the weather.

I did manage a quick visit to Bingham's Pond on Thursday (8th), filled the feeders and spotted 18 bird species, adding to my 'Pond year list' which now stands at 26!
