Silver Explorer (Formerly Prince Albert II) - Greenock

The luxury cruise ship 'Silver Explorer' arrived in Greenock very early this morning - around 6 am - too early for me.

 She was formerly the 'Prince Albert II'. This will be her only visit to Greenock this year.

I managed a few shots as she departed Greenock in the rain and headed to Douglas on the Isle of Man.

Swans and Cygnets - Greenock Dam

Another wee trip up to see the cygnets are progressing.

Murdieston dams as they are known locally, but actually called Cowdenknowes Reservoir.

Rather poor light, but again the swans were very accommodating in permitting me access to their young.
