Managed a few more natural connections over the past two days. Yesterday, a brief stop at Finlaystone Point around lunchtime revealed a pair of Pintail (and some far-off, unidentified grebes) among the Mallards and Wigeon. Today, on the drive from Ayr to Greenock, noticed 30 Greenfinches and large numbers of Oystercatchers at Barassie, around 25 Eider on the sea at Portencross and around 30 Wigeon, 25 Redshank, a pair of Common Gulls (in courtship display) and 2 Mute Swans at Fairlie Shore. Raptor count was 2 Kestrels and 1 Buzzard (all perched).

"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".
