What wildlife have you spotted along the canal?

Spring has arrived on the canal network 🌸

This is the perfect time of year to make the most of the season and try out some wildlife spotting. 🔎🦆

As you’re out exploring, please remember to give wildlife the space it needs, especially during nesting season.

Have you spotted any interesting creatures this ? 📸

People watching by the canal: the warmer weather and longer days means the kayaking club is out practicing along the Forth & Clyde.
