A lunchtime walk around the west end of Greenock produced little of note except a pair of Common Gulls on a chimney. later, a walk along the river found three singing Blackcaps, a Great Tit brood and a singing Song Thrush. Plants coming into flower include Meadowsweet, Bramble, Purple Loosestrife, Pineappleweed and Rosebay Willow-Herb.
