Season's Greetings

I would like to wish everyone that has read this blog a Happy Christmas and Peaceful New Year. Amazingly, there have been over 123,000 page views, so thank you for your interest.

So, to mark the occasion a photograph from my favourite bird watching location in Glasgow - Hogganfield Park LNR, featuring Hogganfield Loch ..




Finally, another update on the unusual birds seen in the Greater Glasgow area, courtesy of the SOC Grapevine:

A drake and a female Scaup on Waulkmill Glen Reservoir, also 65 Snipe at the adjoining Littleton reservoir.

Thursday 21 December 2017
A male Brambling in a Muirlees Crescent, Milngavie garden.


Wednesday 20 December 2017
A probable 2nd-winter Yellow-legged Gull at the Balgray Reservoir roost (present for a fortnight), also a probable Siberian Chiffchaff in the hedge beside the jetties; nearby, the immature Long-tailed Duck still on Waulkmill Glen Reservoir where there is an impressive number of wildfowl due to the lowering of the water this summer.
