Another gorgeous spring day today (although the last few frosty nights have brought some welcome wintry weather further north). Down here, the tops of the Renfrewshire hills were covered in overnight snow. Also, all the mountains from Ben Lomond round to Glen Eck remain completely white.
Noticed a Buzzard in the first Finaystone meadow, and another swooping over the road at Hunter's Quay. Also, a hovering Kestrel right over the Troon bypass. Tide was well in when I drove down the coast (from Greenock to Ayr), with flocks of Lapwing plus odd Curlew and Oystercatcher forced onto roadside fields.
Spring-like weather has prompted Mistle Thrushes to breed at a site in central Glasgow, with a ten day old chick reported on the Lothian Birding line today.
