Today's walk was a long one - from Wemyss Bay to Greenock via Cornalees Bridge. Highlights consisted of a pair of Whinchats with three chicks, a single juvenile Stonechat and a male Reed Bunting taking food back to its young. Insects included Meadow Brown, Ringlet and Small Tortoiseshell butterflies and two types of dragonfly (Golden-ringed and one of the Chaser species). Some interesting plants included Marsh Valerian, Marsh Willow-Herb, Marsh Thistle (including one plant with completely white flowers) and a Bitter-cress species (perhaps Large Bitter-cress).
