Brisc (Biological Recording in Scotland) conference 2014 excursion to the Water Vole (Arvicola amphibius or Arvicola terrestris) reintroduction site and habitat in Loch Ard Forest, Stirlingshire. This picture shows a pond created for water voles and Katy Anderson from the Forestry Commission Scotland demonstrating a raft to detect mink footprints. If mink are detected, trapping and dispatch are carried out to protect the water voles. Between 1989 and 1998, the population fell by almost 90%. Hopefully with continued conservation efforts they will escape extinction.

Black-headed Gulls (Chroicocephalus ridibundus) loafing on the ice and drinking, taken by David Palmar at Bingham's Pond, Glasgow. One is colour-ringed, which when resighted and reported, allows the identification of the individual bird and the tracing of its life history. This gull was ringed in December 2020 by the Clyde Ringing Group at Victoria Park, Glasgow. Apart from a trip to Peterhead where it was spotted in April 2021, it has been seen several times since both at Victoria Park and at Bingham's Pond.
