A further 2 inches of the white stuff hit Glasgow last night. As a result, and on consulting the forecast, my proposed trip to Caerlaverock with Iain tomorrow is off.
A lunchtime visit to Hogganfield was uneventful. The loch is still completely frozen except for the small area in front of the car park. The usual stuff around but Goldeneye, Teal & Shoveler all departed.
In the afternoon I went for a look through the Gulls at Strathclyde Loch and in particular in the hope of connecting with the Iceland Gull that has been present since just before Christmas.
Had no luck with the Iceland but several Great Black Backed and "Argentatus" Herring Gulls were present. The River Calder flows into this side of Strathclyde Loch and helps to keep some of the loch ice free. As a result there were good numbers of Ducks present including both Goldeneye & Pochard.
