It may not be connected at all but for me the water levels are just too low. There are acres and acres of just dried up mud, no good for anything. Yet they have recently installed a bloody fancy sluice, does no one use it ? There's not enough attention being paid to the place, probably too busy chatting over coffeee in the shop at Lochwinnoch !
What birds were present today ? Well there were at least 173 Lapwings, 4 Snipe were flushed by the farmer's cows, lots of eclipse Teal and a few Gadwall (probably not as many as were at Hogganfield yesterday) and c10 Shoveler. Oh and a nice Kingfisher.
The walk along the south bank from the Chestnut Walk end produced several tit flocks including Chiffchaffs, 2 Blackcaps & several Goldcrest. Though no sign of last weeks reported Willow Tit.
Now a picure to make this slightly less boring:
