Tuesday 28th July

Good friend Karen Graham who lives in Bearsden is back home from her recent holiday up North and I received this e mail through from Karen yesterday

"What a lot of noise from gulls yesterday over house. Looking out there was a buzzard low down over head which they had all ganged up on. Very noticeable is the increasing number of herring gulls and now buzzards in this urban area. Unfortunately, a neighbour is feeding gulls in his garden so often they now perch on our roof calling loudly. Now our car is a target at times and we are not in up North where it is part of life at this time of year from nesting to rearing young...."
