On Monday (22nd) I visited the Millichen area of Glasgow for the first time this year ...
Millichen Flood - 22 February 2016
Surprisingly, there were no wildfowl to be seen although there were 4 species of gull and c100 Lapwing around the flood. I had a nice surprise spotting three Stonechat, one at East Millichen and the other two at the flood...
