Drove to East Kilbride this afternoon. The hedgerows (or at least what is left of them, now that the M77 extension is finished) were alive with creamy Meadowsweet and purple Foxgloves. Thought I saw some orchids on the verge of the roundabout south of Newton Mearns. Must check next time I'm out that way.

Spent part of the afternoon on Troon beach, enjoying glorious summer sunshine and a flat calm sea (see picture). Enjoyed the sight of a Grey Seal floating lazily 100 metres offshore. Rockpools full of tiny fish and shrimps. Sea water crystal clear. Birds in the area included 5 Swifts, 2 House Martins, a few Swallows and House Sparrows, a Heron, 2 Redshanks, an Eider, plenty of Starlings, a few Jackdaws and lots of Herring and Lesser black backed Gulls.
