Woke up at 5 30 am to the sound of the dawn chorus. Then had to drive to Dumfries and back, the return journey via the A76. Noticed two Curlews and about 20 Lapwings over roadside fields (well inland). Also, the first lambs I've seen this year. Up near the Eaglesham Road end, a pair of Lapwing were mobbing a Carrion Crow which had strayed into their territory. Total of 3 Kestrels but no Buzzards.
News from Radio Scotland is that the Kittiwakes returned to their nests on Dunbar Castle today. The 16th March is the traditional return date according to the "Coasties" (people who live and work around the harbour). News from the web is that a Mute Swan is on its nest beside the water of Leith.
