Clyde. 



This area is a favourite habitat of the Great Crested Grebe ; it 

 has been found breeding in every county within its borders, and 

 appears to be still on the increase. 



Renfrewshire. A nest was found by Mr Robert Read at Hare- 

 law Dam in 1889, and the bird continues to breed there regularly as 

 well as at the Brother Loch since 1897. Not more than two pairs 

 nest at each place in a season. Occasionally it has nested at Little 

 Loch, Long Loch, Walton Dam, and probably at Castle Semple Loch. 



Lanarkshire. The keeper on Lochwood estate, which borders 

 Bishop Loch, states that the Great Crested Grebe has nested regu- 

 larly on the loch since he came there about 18S6, but there has 

 been no increase in numbers, only a pair or two breeding each 

 season. This takes us back a few years earlier than the Harelaw 

 Dam record. At Woodend Loch, about a mile east of Bishop Loch, 

 Mr John Robertson saw a nest about 1906, and the bird probably 

 nests there most seasons.
