Cumbernauld, Ravenswood Local Nature Reserve [5]
An almost dried up scrape out that is supposed to be an attempt to provide a habitat for wildlife. Scraping out a big shallow trench where the bed is a heavy gray mud will not encourage wildfowl. Someone needs to try a wee bit harder on the basics.

A good sized pond and a much better effort than its near dried up neighbour. Still muddy waters though with little plant life on the surface but its probably early days to be fair.

This flat area must be the 'wetlands' bit the council publicity refers to. Sadly on this visit it was pretty dry.
