An evening walk from Castle Semple Loch to the RSPB Visitor Centre produced some interesting birds in the form of a family party of Canada Geese, a tit flock (containing Long-tailed Tits and an autumn yellow Willow Warbler) and three or four singing Sedge Warblers. More notable was the truly spectacular show of flowering plants along the edge of the marsh. Some of the species I could identify were Rose-bay and Greater Willow-herb, Devil's Bread, Meadowsweet, Pineappleweed, Comfrey, Indian Balsam, Teasel, Red Clover, White Clover, a ragwort species, a St John's Wort species, a thistle species, Broad-leaved Dock, Common Nettle, Chicory, Common Bindweed, Common Knapweed, Common Vetch and Bramble. Some of the species which evaded identification are shown below:
