Enjoyed a pleasant walk over the moors south of the Muirshiel Visitor Centre. Skylarks and Meadow Pipits sang almost continuously throughout the walk, with Tree Pipit, Chaffinch, Willow Warbler and Redpoll around the woodland edges. Two Ravens were also present, and at least three male Blackcaps were showing well around the visitor centre. No sign, though, of Stonechat or Spotted Flycatcher. Heading home, a Cuckoo flew across the road and perched on a dead branch giving excellent views. Other wildlife included numerous butterflies.
A lovely evening in Cardonald. Two Swifts were hunting low over the estate houses.
