Tay Reed Beds - areas cut for reedbed management

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.

Loch Lomond - East Loch Lomond

A clutch of Pied Flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca) eggs at the Scottish Centre for Ecology and the Natural Environment (SCENE), in Rowardennan, on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond in Scotland. British Pied Flycatchers typically lay a single clutch of 6-7 eggs during April-May although replacement clutches may be laid if the first clutch is lost early in the season. The incubation lasts for 13-15 days, and the young fledge at 16-17 days after hatching. Fledglings and adults remain close to the natal area for around 45 days, and adults begin migration towards Africa between mid-July and mid-August.

Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus), Glasgow University Scene biological research station, Rowardennan
A male Common Redstart (Phoenicurus phoenicurus) perched on a tree branch, at the Glasgow University SCENE biological research station, in Rowardennan, on the eastern shore of Loch Lomond in Scotland. Common Redstarts are migratory birds and are found in the UK only during the breeding season, when they arrive after spending the winter in western Africa. During spring, they have an insectivorous diet and rely on open habitats like woodland edges, gardens, cemeteries and fields to find perches and spot insects, spiders, and caterpillars.
