Abstract
Staffordshire University has been running a spring undergraduate marine and terrestrial field course at Millport Field Centre since 2009. These field notes will focus on the terrestrial records (non avian) that cover a period in late March (24th March) to mid April (19th April). These notes started as casual observations linked to our marine focus but over the years we have grown this provision. We hope this short list will provide a stimulus to more observations related to this overlooked aspect of the fauna of the Isle of Cumbrae.
