Really cold and wintry all week, but there is a distinct feel of Spring having arrived. Grass fields are bright green and birds are much more in evidence. M8 / A8 birds today were a Heron near Erskine (at 8 am), 4 House Sparrows fluttering through the traffic in central Greenock, 7 Lesser Black backed Gulls in a tight group beside Victoria Dock (? getting ready to move to breeding sites), 20 Common Gulls on grass west of Newark Shipyard and around 50 Whooper Swans east of the motorway just north of the airport (first time I've seen them there all winter) (all around 4 pm).

"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".
