Millichen, Hogganfield & Frankfield

It was a wet morning in Glasgow & after pottering around Dobbies in the hope the rain might ease I drove round to Millichen in the hope that I might see a Tree Sparrow.... I didn't.

The rain had by now eased off & so I pressed on to Hogganfield in the hope that I might see a Ruddy Duck.... I didn't. I decided to walk on towards Frankfield via Cardowan Moss. The walk through the woodland produced 2 Buzzards, several small birds and a Roe Deer. Frankfield Loch held 7 Gadwall & 1 Shoveler.

By the time I got back to Hogganfield it was 4pm and I stayed for a while watching some of the birds close to the car park.
