Spring may have arrived!

Despite having had a cold for nigh on 2 weeks, I've managed some birding 😉 mainly in the Greater Glasgow area but on one excellent day I ventured east, thanks to Stephen.

Starting in the east this Ring-necked Duck proved to be a star:

Closer to home, I visited Millichen, with Judith and Mike, for the first time in a year and was pleased to see that Tree Sparrows appeared to be doing ok, although as per usual, we had to work quite hard to find birds

Millichen - 5/4/18

We then headed off to RSPB Loch Lomond and were impressed by the new facility at the reserve ...........

However, I have to confess that my two visits to Hogganfield Park LNR on the 1st and 9th of April proved to be the most memorable with a total of 52 different bird species seen - remarkable for an urban reserve!

Slavonian Grebe - 1/4/18

Great Crested Grebe - 1/4/18

Iceland Gull - 9/4/18

Whooper Swan - 9/4/18

Wheatear - 9/4/18

Willow Warbler -9/4/18

So once again, if you have never visited Hogganfield Park LNR, what is stopping you?
