Today started with around 25 House Martins wheeling and chattering over Dunchurch Road, Oldhall and ended with a Red Fox slinking across the road at Cardonald Park Farm railbridge. In between, most of the day was spent at Southerness in Dumfriesshire. Natural highlights were relatively few (a flock of Ringed Plovers plus a single Dunlin, drifts of flowering Sea Aster, dozens of Swallows lined up on wires) but it was still great to be out and about on a balmy, wind-free day [13,000].

"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".
