A possible calling Tawny Owl overnight was quite a surprise. Not so the Chiffchaff which was singing first thing from the same area where one sang all last Summer. Driving from Glasgow to Ayr, then to Greenock and then back to Glasgow turned up plenty of birds including displaying Buzzards, a couple of Grey Herons and two pairs of Mallards lurking in roadside fields. A brief stop at Portencross didn't find any Wheatears but produced a Purple Sandpiper feeding quietly in the "splash zone".
Ospreys are arriving back at their nests all over Scotland with reports flooding in, for instance, from Loch Garten, Loch of the Lowes, Loch Lomond, Loch Awe, Knapdale and Moray.
