More frost today. In fact, some shaded pavements stayed white all day. Nevertheless the strong sunshine prompted many birds to sing. In Greenock, a Dunnock was in full song opposite the hospice. Later, along the river, singers included Woodpigeon, Blue Tit, Greenfinch and Blackbird. The Goldeneye of earlier in the winter seem to have gone. However nearly 20 Mallards were still present.
