Taken at Hogganfield Loch.
This is Glasgow's most important site for migrant and wintering waterbirds, it is also recognised as a key regional site for wildfowl.
A diverse range of birds is attracted to the loch, with over 100 different species being recorded at the site .Many of the birds have become used to the presence of people, and species such as Tufted Duck, Goldeneye and Goosander can be seen at close quarters.
Occasionally rarer birds such as Slavonian Grebe can be seen and the Smew is a regular winter visitor.
The woodlands, marsh (including areas of open water) and grassland are managed for nature conservation and support populations of Skylark and Water Vole.
