Had a very pleasant walk from Croy to Falkirk, following the course of the Forth & Clyde (photos 1 and 2 above) and Union Canals. Birding highlights were nesting Mute Swans (at least 2 nests identified) and Rooks (23 nests in one group of trees), displaying Lapwings, calling Oystercatchers and singing Skylarks over farmland, a singing Chiffchaff at Wester Carmuirs (my first of the Spring), a singing Stonechat at the Falkirk Wheel and an escaped Wood Duck (photo 3) at Greenbank. The other notable sighting was of great swathes of Butterbur (photos 4 and 5) along many sections of canal bank.
