A trip to Queen's Park on Monday evening found both Coot and Mute Swan nesting, and possibly incubating (top). It was a typically dull evening, but eventually the sun appeared under the clouds, illuminating much of Southwest Glasgow (second photo). Today was spent in Inveraray, but began with a frosty start (its nearly May!) and glorious views across dead-calm Loch Fyne (bottom two photos). Notable sightings on the trip were the first Wood Anemone in flower (outside Inverary) and the first patch of Cowslip on the grass verge outside Balloch. Dandelions now starting to dominate the flower scene.
