Had to nip over to Greenock from Paisley late morning. Nice to be out and about in daylight for a change. Ten or so Feral Pigeons were displaying on and above farm buildings on the outskirts of Howwood. Not far from there, a pristine male Goldeneye was on the Black Cart at Garthland Bridge. A Sparrowhawk was soaring above a conifer belt beside the B786 and there were 50 Rooks feeding in fields opposite Margaret's Mill Farm. Finally a couple of Magpies were mobbing a Kestrel which was hovering over Auchmountain Road.

"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".
