Following on from the excitement of the Spoonbill on 1 May 2021 - see last post - the rest of the month proved to be more normal, at least from a birding point of view. Only 66 species seen, as again I restricted birding to the city boundary (apart from one short excursion along the West Highland Way!)
Much of the time was spent helping check the Friends of Glasgow's LNRs nest boxes and I'm pleased to say that almost all were occupied.
Meanwhile, some summer migrants have been delayed due to the poor weather in May, so it was good to eventually manage to not only see, but also photograph this Grasshopper Warbler.

Sixty six bird species were seen during the month, whilst my year list for Hogganfield Park LNR stands at 82 and for Bingham's Pond SINC it's 48, already a year record with 7 months to go!
In addition to birds, I thought it would be nice to illustrate some of the other forms of wildlife I saw during May in Glasgow's LNRs.

June is, traditionally, a quiet month, but with some lock down restrictions being lifted who knows what will be found.
