Walked along the Cart from Silver Glade to Hawkhead. Interesting sightings along the way included: singing Song Thrushes on top of riverside trees, 6 Mallards under the first bridge, newly emerged Snowdrops (below) in Rosshall Park, a flock of 6 or 7 Woodpigeons on the lawn there, a Buzzard being mobbed by Carion Crows at Leverendale (with another just before the gate to Hawkhead Estate Park), newly-emerged leaves of Lesser Celandine, up to 10 House Sparrows "chirrupping" noisily in the Bens Estate, a Pied Wagtail and 6 Jackdaws at St Andrew's Academy and at least one more House Sparrow at the railway bridge just before the glade.

"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".
