A lunchtime walk along Greenock esplanade was notable for two Sandwich Terns (possibly an adult and juvenile) flying along the water's edge. After a while, three Great black-backed Gulls started to relentlessly chase one of the terns (possibly the juvenile) and eventually disappeared well out to sea (with the other bird in pursuit calling loudly). Other birds present included six Eiders and four Black Guillemots.

I should really mention some of the highlghts of the Yorkshire trip last week. A brief stop at Halton Gill unfortunately produced no Yellow Wagtails. However a pair of Oystercatchers with a single downy chick in a roadside field was a nice surprise. After work, a trip to Leighton Moss produced singing Reed and Sedge Warblers and a Common Darter.
Heading home the next day, Avocet, Black tailed Godwit, Greenshank and seven Little Egrets were the highlights.
