If anyone's wondering, i'm still here. It's just that there's been nothing to see or photograph. The weather's not helping at all. Ok, it's been mild but lt's like there's no demarcation between night & day, just constantly dark 😩 God! I hate this time of year!

Stopped off at Bingham's Pond on my way to Anniesland and was quite surprised to see a Kingfisher. The surprise relates to the actual location of the pond. I've marked the pond on the map with a star and as you can see the bird was way out of it's usual river/canal habitat!

A winter plumaged Black-headed Gull loafing on Bingham's Pond, Glasgow. I love the colours of the surrounding autumnal leaves reflecting on the surface of the water.
