Took a walk around Ardmore Point late morning. Very mild and calm, so lots of birds evident. Best was a Red throated Diver very close to the shore (I could make out the speckling on its wings). It watched me intently for about 15 minutes and called out twice - a really spine-tingling moment.
Other highlights were Shelduck, Eider, Wigeon, Goldeneye and Red breasted Merganser - all in breeding plumage. Also several Slavonian Grebes (including a group of 3 with the jizz of Black necked's) and Grey Wagtail, Rock Pipit, Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Robin, Wren and Blackbird all feeding along the strand line. Waders were much in evidence with some of the Curlews doing a "Whiffling" aerial display which I had never seen before. I also saw a single Black Guillemot (in intermediate plumage) and heard a distant Raven (2 were reported on Clyde Bird Sightings). Biggest surprise was the Llama (!) grazing with some sheep. All in all an excellent days birding.
