With tomorrow taken up with other things, I headed down to Inverclyde to do my WeBS count a day early. Relatively few birds were present (typical of this time of year) but two pairs of Coot and one of Mute Swan were attending more-or-less completed nests. Female Mallards were virtually absent, suggesting they are away incubating. More female Tufted Ducks were around, suggesting they have not started incubation yet. Less typical species present included one each of Sand Martin and Goosander. After the WeBS count I headed to Lunderston Bay to see what was around. A blustery wind and very high tide made finding birds quite difficult. However three Wheatears were on one of the small sections of beach still exposed and more than fifty Turnstones (a few acquiring breeding plumage) were on exposed rocks. Later, up to two Common Terns were close to the shore opposite Port Glasgow's Tesco extra and two Gannets were fishing mid-channel.
