Another fine day today. Driving down to Greenock in the morning, noticed another patch of Montbretia, this time just past the railway bridge west of Langbank. Then saw two Roe Deer (maybe a buck and a doe, or else a doe and her fawn) tip-toeing out of the woods next to the first Finlaystone meadow. No doubt they were tempted by the lush new growth of grass there. It has already been cut twice, and is shooting up again. News from seabird colonies and birds of prey monitoring schemes suggests that the warm wet weather hasn't done them any favours. However I suspect anything that relies on fresh plant growth for food will have fared a lot better.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
