Bike ride from Crocketford - Balcary. Birds now showing better after cold weather on leafless trees, but still no special sightings. Suspected linnet early on but light was too poor to make out the colouring. Some sort of diver on Carlingwark Loch and curlew heard at Balcary. On the way back some very light coloured birds on a farm field, perhaps immature gulls. Approaching Corsock Road saw what I took to be a small buzzard and did wonder momentarily if it was another merlin. Maybe something to watch for infuture as I frequentlly spot 'baby buzzards' and pass on without thinking about them any more.
A feature of this ride was a much improved performance after having re-started subutamol on medical advice - covered 50 miles in round 4.5 hours - and the last few miles were pretty slow!
