I had to stay home for most of the day but managed out mid-afternoon (just as the heavy rain began) to have a look around Portnauld between Renfrew and Inchinnan. Land birds included Buzzard, Swallow, lots of Woodpigeons and two singing Yellowhammers. Birds along the river included Redshank, Oytercatcher, around a hundred Black-headed Gulls, two Grey Herons and a Common Sandpiper. Continuing one of the themes of the week, two Common Red Soldier Beetles were on a Hogweed flower.
