Today started with a noisy Song Thrush singing very close to the house, apparently undaunted by quite a sharp frost. On route to Greenock, a possible Peregrine swooped over the motorway north of Bishopton (very close to where I saw one once before). The drive home saw a number of Teal along the Bishopton stretch of the Clyde and a Common Buzzard perched on a roadside fence at North Commonside. Tea-time saw both male and female Chaffinch visiting the garden feeders. Later, a walk along the Cart turned up a pair of Goosanders along the Moulin stretch, a pair of Grey Wagtails at the Rosshall bend, a Moorhen at Rosshall Park pond and Grey Herons there and back on the river. The leucistic female Mallard and her normal mate seem to be prospecting for nest sites at Moulin.

"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".
