Hogganfield Black Tern Gone

Had a notion to have a look at Gadloch near Lenzie from the point of view of would it be worth keeping a check on by visiting on a regular basis ?

Have to say it is a resounding no ! At the end nearest Bishopbriggs, the access is poor and it had the appearance of some kind of a private fishing loch where 'intruders' would not be welcome. At the end nearest Lenzie the access appeared to be non existent. So I'll keep an eye on Hogganfield instead.

The juvenile Black Tern appears to have gone (it was reported yesterday). Both Great Crested & Little Grebes showed well:

Great Crested Grebe























Little Grebe (Summer plumage)




















Little Grebe (Acquiring Winter Plumage)




















Still both Swallow & House Martin around in small numbers.

A few Gadwall around at the top end and c40 Tufted loafing near the car park.

Drake Ruddy Duck (3 drakes today)
