30 Jan 10 Strathclyde Loch

The weather was cold and crisp with light winds. The temperature was 3.5 degrees at 2pm.

Most of the duck were concentrated in the bay where the Calder burn runs in. There were 190 Tufted Duck, 89 Goldeneye, 48 Cormorant and 30 Pochard. Other species included at least 3 Little Grebe and C 20 Goosander.

Gulls were present in good numbers and included several Great Black Backed. However, despite constant searching I could not find any white winged gulls.

Pochard had returned in good numbers after the freeze:
