We had a early walk round Loch Ardinning reserve this morning. March has got cold again. Wee bit of snow on the Campsies and the Loch Lomond hills were white. Curlews and peewits. Quiet. The grass paths are in a bad way due to lockdown walking.

Lovely morning at Ardinning, arrived around 8. A hint of mist and a smattering of very light frost. No wind, loch like a mirror. Lots of birds singing. Few roe about before more people arrived. A few toads in the loch, looked like males awaiting the bigger females. A pair of dabchicks chattering. Larks and lapwings.
