I ventured out on Sunday and a visit to my local pond for the Webs Count produced the usual wetland birds - Mute Swan, Mallard, Tufted Duck, Goosander, Moorhen, Coot, Black-headed Gull and a Herring Gull. However, I did add a new bird to my 'Bingham's Pond Year List' when I found a Treecreeper in amongst a 'tit' flock. The Pond's year list now stands at 40 whilst the 'Life List' is 69 - not bad for a small pond in the west end of the City.
It was also good to note that the vegetation at the 'pond dipping area' had been trimmed back, presumably by the Council - so no need for the volunteers from the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs to get involved this year!
