Working in Dunoon this afternoon, where two of the best birds of the day were a bottle-green Pheasant pair at Toward (male shown here). The day finished with a walk at the head of Loch Eck. Best birds there were three separate Cuckoos and three Common Sandpiper territories. Biggest disappointment was the absence of Mandarin Ducks on the river system around Glenbranter. Sadly, it seems that the colony which was doing so well a few years ago has disappeared.
The other photo below shows an attractive pink flower growing on the bridge at Glenbranter.
Heading back over the Clyde, two Gannets were overhead and one dived for a fish in front of the boat.
