I'm off to Glasgow this weekend, could anyone recommend a few places visit to capture a few shots of birds.
Last time I was there I went to Pollock Park.

Thanks Mike

Its only about 8 miles from where I will be staying, so if the rain holds off I will take a trip to the Loch.
I go to Glasgow frequently, so on the look out for a view haunts to visit.

Thanks Mike for your tip, a great little loch with 100's of birds.
I only spent an hour there as it was freezing and the ground was covered in snow, my bird count was 14. Well worth a visit, but if anyone is going I would try and go midweek as its very busy at the weekend.

Blackheaded Gull
Coot
Goosander
Greylag
Lesser Black-Backed Gull
Little Gull
Magpie
Mallard
Moorhen
Mute Swam
Pied Wagtail
Pigeon

Hi Paul

Jim Coyle runs a web site about bird watching in Glasgow that may be of interest (link below)
Other Bird Watching Sites

I also run a web site with recent sightings from the Clyde Area which may be of interest too (link below)

Hope this helps, John
