Tay Reed Beds
The Tay Reed Beds - Areas of reed are cut to provide structure, including open and wet habitat and reed edge to provide ideal conditions for wildlife, including Reed buntings and Bearded tits, which can feed in the more open areas and move to the reedbeds for breeding. Cutting also prevents natural succession to woodland and helps to maintain the reedbed, and can supply reed for commercial use.

Work in progress on the naturalisation of the shore at Hogganfield Loch. Amongst the aims of this work are moving cars back from the loch edge to make it easier to see the wildlife, and making it easier for birds to haul out on the shore, into a more natural and suitable environment for them. The works are being carried out by Glasgow City Council.
