Springwatch for camera club members in Largs and Millport

Making its first appearance of the year was the rarely spotted phenomenon of the Cumbrae lizard.

The common lizard creatures can be spotted lurking in the undergrowth near the Hush Hush in the north-west of the island.

This marvellous photo was captured by Eddie Williams.

The viviparous lizard is widely distributed throughout Europe and Asia. Its range extends to the north of the Arctic Circle.

It ranges from Ireland to Hokkaido and Sakhalin -  and Cumbrae!

With BBC's Springwatch returning to the box, we thought we would take a look at our old glorious wildlife scene and our camera club members certainly have not disappointed!

Ian Dalgleish captured this marvellous photo of some new arrivals at Aubery. There were four cygnets on May 21, joining mother swan.

And showing some beautiful colours, here is an orange-tip Butterfly (male) taken at Fairhaven, Great Cumbrae by Eddie Williams.

And News reporter Calum Corral spotted a hungry heron on the bay who couldn't wait for the takeaways to open, and instead went looking for supper in Southannan Sands. 

And a collection of alpaca and sheep were also pictured at Kelburn Country Centre by Ian Dalgleish enjoying the great outdoors on the Clyde Coast, and seemed quite happy milling about together!
