An early morning trip to Ardmore Point took place in calm but rainy weather. Plenty of signs of spring were evident including naturalised Daffodils in flower and frogspawn in some of the ditches. Good numbers of land birds were singing including Robin, Wren, Song Thrush, Dunnock and (especially) Chaffinch. Out on the Clyde, several Slavonian Grebes included one in near summer plumage and a pair performing their "Penguin-dance" courtship display. Eiders were displaying and three seals were pulled up on rocks. A few Goldeneye were scattered around, including a transitional bird with features of both immature and adult (male) plumage. Heading back to the car park, a Stock Dove careered over the path. This, and a drumming Great spotted Woodpecker were new birds for me for the 1km square covering the bulk of the point - giving a current species total of 56. Also notable were two Rabbits.
Later in the day, visitors to the garden feeders included two Bullfinches, a Chaffinch and a Collared Dove.
