The Starling flock at the Sugar sheds numbered about 200 this evening. A Grey Heron was over the breeding cliff at Woodhall and a pair of Shelducks were on the flooded field south of the motorway at Longhaugh Point. In between, the sea opposite Langbank was covered with Black-headed Gulls. I estimated several thousand were present. I have witnessed this phenomenon once before. Presumably the birds are congregating prior to moving inland to set up breeding territories.
Further up the motorway, a Raven flew over at Bishopton and two Whooper Swans were in a field at Barnhill.
