Spent most of the day walking in the hills between Greenock and Wemys Bay. Birdlife was very thin on the ground (thick mist didn't help). The only notable sightings were of a Great spotted Woodpecker at Loch Thom Cottage, a Cormorant flying up to the Kelly Reservoir and two Ravens on the outskirts of Weyms Bay. A detour to the Black Cart floodplain turned up a total of 117 Whooper Swans (flying in and out in family groups of up to 5), a single Black Swan, around 200 Greylag Geese, a Kestrel and two Buzzards. Later, a walk along the Cart produced a Great spotted Woodpecker and a Kingfisher (again, at the pond) [124/136].
