Had an interesting walk this evening, following the Cart as far as Hawkhead Estate, then returning via the Hurlet and Crookston Road. Took a detour through Hawkhead Woodland - what a wonderful spot (apart from the traffic noise) - a great swathe of farmland and woodland with views to the Renfrewshire heights and Neilston Pad. Heard a Buzzard and glimpsed a Great spotted Woodpecker there. Elsewhere, a Grasshopper Warbler was reeling from the grassland in Leverndale grounds, one or two Sedge Warblers were singing in the marshy area north of Hawkhead Estate Park football pitch and the first Wild Raspberries were out in Crookston Wood [17,000].

"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".
