Managed 10 minutes at the Greenock West promenade between appointments. Thought I might see Black Guillemots, and sure enough, almost the first thing I saw was a fine, summer-plumaged bird fishing just off shore. It was so close I could see it dipping its head underwater to look for fish, and when it dived its red legs were very obvious. A second bird was fishing the harbour mouth and a third flew West to East past the harbour wall. Other birds about included a pair of Red breasted Mergansers and small groups of Eider.
The M8 journey was quite eventful today with the Buzzard in the first Finlaystone Meadow on the way down, and a Sparrowhak flying across the Langbank roundabout and into trees on the way back. Flowering trees (? Cherries) are now very evident in Finlaystone; just as well, as the Snowdrops are almost finished for the year.
News from the net is that the first Chiffchaffs are back and starting to sing.......
