A quiet day weather-wise with dull, overcast conditions. Lots of waders along the Clyde (mostly Lapwings from what I could see) as well as Wigeon and a few Mute Swans. Saw one Buzzard perched on a fencepost near the Bishopton bend. Then at Langbank, saw a Buzzard-sized raptor being mobbed by a dozen corvids as it struggled to gain height. Along the river tonight were a Chaffinch feeding on Beech mast, a Great Tit "teachering" from a Willow and a Kingfisher zipping upstream just as dusk fell. Lots of conkers and acorns on the woodland floor now.

"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".
