Glasgow's Local Nature Reserves

Much to some people's surprise, Glasgow has 12 Local Nature Reserves as well as some 'proposed' Local Nature Reserves - details can be had via this link

They provide excellent opportunities for walking and viewing wildlife.

Last Friday, I visited Cardowan Moss LNR, Frankfield Loch (a proposed LNR) and Hogganfield Park LNR.

I recorded over 30 species of bird and also had stunning views of Roe Deer. A few images follow:

If you've never visited these sites, I'd strongly recommend that you do!

Why not start this Sunday (18th) at Hogganfield Park LNR where there is a free wildfowl feeding event, starting at 11.30am - more details here  https://www.facebook.com/events/1796708687289507/
