Spent the weekend at Auchenfoyle Camp in the Renfrewshire Hills. Saturday was stormy and cold but today was calmer (although still cool). Natural connections were limited because of other commitments and almost continuous heavy rain. However enjoyed seeing several skiens of grey geese flying west over the camp, a few "Tsee-eep"-ing Redwings overhead, a probable Sparrowhak patrolling a shelter belt, a possible Hen Harrier over adjacent moorland and a definite Common Buzzard doing some "sky dancing". Other birds around included Carrion Crows, Rooks and Jackdaws (but no Ravens) plus single Chaffinch, Starling and (possible) Pied Wagtail. On the way back through Bridge of Weir, saw 100 or so Starlings in close aerial formation.

"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".
