An hour spent walking around the centre of Strathaven produced a list of twenty bird species with seven new additions to my birdtrack list (including Nuthatch, Dipper and Willow Warbler). Plant species included Red Campion, Wood Forget-me-not and Pink Ivy-leaved Speedwell. Later, a brief stop at Gilmourton found only Pied Wagtails on the river (I remember seeing Yellow Wagtails here in the early 1990s).
