FORK Winter Gathering Report 2010
Last winter walk
I was fortunate enough to join five other intrepid FORK volunteers who braved the weather and accompanied one of Charles and Allan informal winter walks. The pace of the day was suitably informal and catered for those, who wanted to view some of the Rivers Wildlife and those interested in our heritage. Along with gaining a fascinating insight from Charles on the significance of some structures along the Kelvin a wide variety of birds were spotted, including dippers, tufted duck, wagtails, long tailed tits, heron, cormorant, merganser and a possible sighting of a golden eye (this sighting did evoke some discussion).
We all made our way back to HBH where we had a winter warmer in the form of hot baileys and headed back to our respective abodes. The two events on the 15th Dec and 15th Jan respectively went very well and I understand that they will continue. There has also been a suggestion that there may be some similar walks in the future perhaps combining a walk with a stop off to enjoy a bite to eat.
Best regards
