Came across an interesting article on the SEPA website which opens with the line: "Scientists from Scotland’s environment watchdog have described work to survey fish in the Clyde Estuary and Garnock Estuary as “like being on Springwatch” after they found over 20 species, including some rather unusual specimens". The article goes on to list some of the species found including Dragonets, Pipefish, Snake Blennies, Viviparous Blennies, Mullets, Sand Smelts and juveniles of important commercial species such as sole, plaice, dab, herring and cod.
Made a brief stop at West Ferry first thing to check if anything had been blown in by the overnight winds. Plenty of common birds were grappling with the conditions including a single Swallow flying downriver, only a foot or so above the waves. Opposite Dumbarton Rock, it passed a female-type Goldeneye (my first of the winter). Later, a Grey Wagtail was in the back green behind the office.
