A real red-letter day today with the arrival back of three House Martins at the micro-colony in Cardonald Gardens. The birds were swooping up into the corner of a window recess in one of the south-facing houses. I do wish they would choose a high gable site instead, as it might be less likely to incur the wrath of the householder. 
Ben Lomond, today, was still showing some remaining patches of snow.
A walk around the west end of Greenock this lunchtime failed to locate any advance parties of Swifts.
