Brrrrrrrr its Freezing !

About 2 inches of snow hit the Glasgow area last night and caused its usual chaos with cars sliding all over the place.

Undaunted, I headed to Hogganfield mid afternoon. There was only 3 small pockets of open water one of which was close to the car park and was thronged with ducks, geese & swans. By dusk there was close to 400 Grey Lag Geese present with at least 2 Pink Feet. At least 10 Whooper Swan were close to the car park making full use of the grain that the Council were putting out and of course the bread that passers by provide.

Some images from a freezing Hogganfield:
