Lamont's pier, herring heritage and the birds to look for as autumn arrives (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My column last week about Lamont's pier at Newark in Port Glasgow prompted several people to comment online about how this striking landmark has a special place in their memories. The wooden structure, which is now a quiet roosting place for birds, once served as a crucial element in the shipbuilding enterprise run by James Lamont and Company. One reader commented: "My father worked in James Lamont's Castle Yard. Originally, this was Lamont's fitting out pier, used prior to handing the finished

This has been a bumper year in the Firth of Clyde for marine wildlife sightings. Huge numbers of common dolphins have been observed, basking shark records have increased and many minke whales have been spotted - including one breaching.

There are mornings in late August when you step outside and immediately sense a change in the season. Often, it's difficult to pin down the exact cause of the shift in mood. It could be a softness in the quality of light, or the scent of maturing leaves, but it has the distinct message that autumn is almost with us. That was the case last Saturday when the prospect of fair weather, tinged with hints of the new season, prompted me to renew my acquaintance with Shielhill Glen, one of Inverclyde's
The remarkable wading bird that's arriving in Inverclyde from the Arctic tundra (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week I wrote about how the wetlands at Lochwinnoch nature reserve are vital for wading birds which stop to rest and feed while migrating long distances from their breeding grounds in the far north. Some stay to spend the winter in Britain but others carry on to southern Europe and Africa. The reserve, run by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, has ensured the ponds have muddy margins where birds can probe for invertebrate food to provide sustenance for their long flights.
