TRAVELLING: To reach Baron’s Haugh by public transport, take the train from Glasgow Central to Airbles railway station, then walk (20 minutes) to the reserve. If you come by car, we encourage car-sharing. If you are willing to offer a lift, or would like a lift, please indicate this on your booking form.
BIRDS WE HOPE TO SEE: A good variety woodland and wetland birds. With luck we might see the elusive Water Rail, and possibly a Kingfisher or an Otter on the Clyde. Detailed information about this area can be found on the SOC's excellent App "Where to Watch Birds in Scotland".
TERRAIN: Mostly gravel paths.
OPTICS: Binoculars are essential and a telescope would be useful.
FOOTWEAR and CLOTHING: Sturdy boots and suitable outdoor clothing. A check of the weather forecast is advisable.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Regrettably, there are no toilets or any other facilities on the reserve. Please bring a packed lunch.
The Baron’s Haugh wetland has recently been restored to its original function of a natural floodplain by creating a break in the artificial bund between the river Clyde and the wetland. This means that the walking routes around the reserve have changed, and wildlife has benefited.
NB: This outing may be postponed due to poor weather. Please check SOC Clyde branch website (www.birdsinclyde.scot) and Clyde Birding on BlueSky in advance.
