A lovely frosty moring to walk to Eglinton park.

This Bullfinch was feeding just before Tournament bridge, while this Robin was next to the path between Tournament and Laundry bridge.

The loch looks great at this time of year and this Grey squirrel was feeding on the Disney tree next to the play area.

Garnock floods – Kilwinning

Published by garnockfocus under Garnock Floods, Kilwinning

The Garnock floods were very cold with ice around the edges, the usual Widgeon, Mallard, Teal and Mute Swans were on the main pond.

This Grey Heron landed just as the sun was dropping.

The sun sets behind Ardeer woods.

Irvine Harbour

Published by garnockfocus under Irvine, Irvine Harbour

First clear day for weeks, we went to Irvine Harbour for a few hours.

Tide was almost fully in, a pair of Oystercatchers roosting across from the old crane and just down from them was this Cormorant

There were quite a few Lapwing in the area as usual and a few Common Seals in Ardeer estuary.

This Red Breasted Merganser was feeding in the harbour entrance.

In the boating pond there were some Tufted Duck.

Back at the harbour this Whooper swan was still in with the Mute Swans waiting to be fed.

This Peregrine falcon out on the saltmarsh is looking at my tent which looks as though it could be doing with some repairs ;-)
