Some Breeding Success at Bingham's Pond

Apologies for the lack of updates over the past few weeks; I've not been out birding in the Greater Glasgow area.

However, yesterday I did pop down for 40 minutes to Bingham's Pond to check on the wildfowl and I can report some success.

Six of the eight cygnets still remain - 

I spotted this juvenile Moorhen -

At least two young Coot and one young Mallard have almost reached 'full size' and this 'new' Tufted Duck duckling was being carefully shadowed by its mother - 

In addition, one Swift flew overhead making it my 36th species for the Year at the Pond.

Other bird records from the Greater Glasgow area, courtesy of the SOC Clyde Grapevine include:
