Some of the highlights of a sunny walk along the cycleway fom Dumbarton to Old Kilpatrick were two types of Helliborine (Broad-leaved and another, narrower-leaved species), plenty of Red Soldier Beetles, a fledged brood of Treecreepers and an adult Spotted Flycatcher attending a juvenile. The "new" piece of cycletrack at Bowling is very impressive with lots of interesting information, an extensive planting scheme and great views over the sealock, the basin and the Clyde.
