The dams at Murdieston Park, Greenock were wet and windswept this morning. A male Goosander moulting into its breeding plumage was the pick of the birds present. Heading up the motorway, Pink-footed Geese and Whooper Swans were feeding on stubble, oblivious to the traffic thundering by. This evening, a Brown Rat was feeding on grain put down for the Grey Squirrels and Woodpigeons along the river.
