Hi Rik,
I don't have a car anymore, so are any of these coastal locations easily accessible by public transport? I'm in Glasgow, so thinking of either bus or train to Largs or Greenock.
Hi,
by train the best is stopping @ IBM Halt (near Greenock) from there it would be 2 miles walking.
by bus the best is to taken the bus from greenock to Inverkip harbour.
I've been to the Benmore gardens last weekend and saw there Dipper.
Hi Rick, those are pretty impressive species and numbers lists you have for the last few days. I was out in the storm at Kinghorn on the forth today and all I got was a lot of gannets, kittiwakes, cormorant and sandwich tern. They all seemed to be loving the storm though.You might get the odd north american rarity over your way in the next day or two. All the best, Mark
Hi Rik, I think that Kinghorn is just too far up river for any significant seabird passage (other than skuas, which I love), that's why I follow this thread with such interest.
I see you managed a couple of storm petrels. Talk about jealous, that's a bird I'd love to see, or any of the smaller petrels for that matter. I might head over the west coast in the spring if work/time/money allows, which month is best for spring passage and what are the best locations? Cheers, Mark
