So yesterday we decided with it being bitterly cold we should go out lol...left to me where to go...very bad idea and yes I got it soooooo wrong...Cathkin Marshes was the choice but silly sausage me got it mixed up as it was actually Cathkin Braes we ended up at...grrr
So here is what we got from our baltic walk from the highest point in Glasgow.....I should also say we felt well out of place with a camera as was all dog walkers and mountain bikes heehee
So from this point you can see Ben Lomond
I got so excited seeing a Buzzard so close and obviously a couldn't feel my fingers that I must have dropped my lens cap...one of them days
Then off he flew
Thankfully we retraced my steps and found it again!!
As you can see it was a little icy aswell
We walked and walked until we stumbled upon a corvid fest....woohoo some birds at last!!
A handsome Rook just waiting for me
He didn't wait long enough for many pics :-(
Oh a BB eating some berries
Then heading back up the Braes...was one for Wendy!!
Sorry not the best of pics but a tried ;-]
Starlings me thinks overhead
Then Maggie lead us back to the car
Next time I will take yous to Cathkin Marshes...now av redone my homework lol
Och it was a change of scenery
Thanks for looking
Take care ;-)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Nice to see Ben Lomond looking good in the winter coat. Nice spot on the buzzard, and good that you managed to find your lens cap. Good to see Maggie showing you around the iced footpath.
I look forward to your next Cathkin Marshes post.
A tip for winter walking on icy paths, microspikes, they're brilliant, I still use mine.
