Two Wigeon on the Heritage Loch - Patch Tick !

With Spring happening as I write this (first frog spawn in my garden pond yesterday) & despite the numbers of wildfowl dropping alarmingly on the Heritage Loch (there was only 8 Tufted this morning) the site still yielded a patch tick in the form of 2 Wigeon (drake & duck).

The 1st Winter Drake Scaup also remained. 1 Little Grebe, 1 Goosander & 2 Cormorants were present. The fields at the West end held at least 8 Fieldfare. This field looks good for a Wheatear over the next few weeks ?

 3 flyover Redpoll were also notable, there have also been a number around Cambuslang of late.

A patch tick !
