A damp drive to Inveraray produced next to nothing on the way. However the town centre was alive with small birds (Siskin, Geenfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, House Sparrow and at least three pairs of Collared Doves).Driving back via Glen Fruin turned up Wheatear and Grey Wagtail plus a distant Cuckoo (my first of the year).

Stewart, this morning, walking along the River Ayr I saw a pair of birds - very similar to blue tits only smaller with a bright yellow stripe on their wings and, I think a flash of red on their cheeks. Any ideas what these might be?
Hi Liz,
they would have been Goldfinches. Nice wee birds with a tinkling call like a Budgie's bell. Have a look here:
