Wednesday 13th May

Sunny. 3/10/7c. N2-4

RIVER KELVIN (Garrioch Rd > Inn Deep)
Pretty quiet this morning with the only highlights being a single Goosander & 5 Dipper, 1 of which was a fledgling being fed by its parents.

F&C CANAL (Applecross > Fire Station)
Finally, the Firhill Basin pair of Mute Swans are parents to 5 cygnets.

      Thank you Peggy.
      Last year only 1 cygnet survived out of 9 :-(

    What a lovely walk - I hope the cygnets do better than last year. Fingers Crossed.

      Number of cygnets? There was still 5.
      There's loads of Watercress both in the river & canal.
