The weather had picked up slighty, from the cold and freezing temperatures. Finding time between the rain and dry weather paid off as this week I managed to see a bird I have seen before but always a lovely surprise to see, and one I have not seen for about 20 years! Alexandra Park...

Here we are again, another new year has just begun. I have been away from my camera and nature for far too long! A run of bad health and bad weather has limited my time getting out and about. Hopefully, going forward I can find time and new places in Glasgow and the surrounding area to get out...

Alexandra Park (21/04/24) After a long time off from completing a weekly blog due to work, tiredness, bad weather and numerous other plans, it was finally nice to have a weekend where I could just get out and about and enjoy some time in nature! It’s been hard to find the time recently, but...
