Walked from Central Station to Hogganfield Loch this morning. The route went along Alexandria Parade, through Cranhill Park and over the M8 at Ruchazie. The loch was dotted with birds including around ten each of Gadwall, Pochard and Little Grebe, perhaps 100 Coot, fifty Tufted Ducks and among them, two drake Ruddy Ducks. The birds still had quite ruddy plumage but the blue colour of the bill was not particularly apparent.
