Wanted to check on the Great Crested Grebes nesting on one of the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs biohavens on the loch and I'm pleased to say it was still sitting and I was lucky enough to see it turn its eggs ............
Great Crested Grebe on nest - 15 August 2017
You can tell autumn/winter is approaching as there were at least 24 Pochard, 10 Gadwall and a Shoveler present in addition to the 'normal' wildfowl ....
Shoveler - 15 August 2017
