Another mild, perfectly windless day in WCS. However in contrast to yesterday's 0% cloud cover, there was 100% cloud all day, with the first sunlight only peeping through about 5:30pm.
Set off mid-morning for the Largs-Cumbrae ferry. The five minute crossing was on a flat-calm sea.
Heading round to the west side of the island, Red throated Divers started to appear among the Eiders close inshore with 6 or more within the first mile. Scattered among them were some Black Guillemots, Shags and a Razorbill. Also, a Grey Seal and two Porpoises briefly broke the surface. Land birds of note included regular Stonechats (three in the first mile), occasional Rock Pipits and a pair of Ravens. One that got away was a probable Grey Partridge calling from rank vegetation.
Back on the mainland, four Red breasted Mergansers were at St Fillan's Bridge.
