Spent the morning touring birding locations in the Clyde area. Started at West Ferry, the very low tide meaning no Scaup but plenty of Shelduck, Curlew and Wigeon. Next stop was Balloch Country Park (top) where a very confiding Red throated Diver kept us transfixed for over half an hour (above). Heard a drumming (?) Greater spotted Woodpecker but no Willow Warblers or Chiffchaffs. Final stop was Ardmore Point which produced a Raven and two Buzzards in an aerial dogfight, a flock of 60-70 Greylag Geese coming in to land, a Stock Dove feeding quietly among the Alpacas (!) and various waterfowl including Shelduck, Teal, Wigeon and Red breasted Merganser. Most intruiging of all was the brief "chirrick" call which was almost certainly a Sandwich Tern.
