A plethora of naturalconnections today began with a single Buzzard over Longhaugh and a second bird on the ground in the first Finlaystone meadow. A lunchtime walk around Murdieston Dam turned up the usual suspects (the Whooper Swan is still there, and still playing "gooseberry" with the Mute Swan pair), but a Grey Heron on the smaller dam was my first for the site. Heading home, the Finlaystone meadow Buzzard was still dodging the sheep and 20 geese were overhead, dropping down towards the estuary at Erskine.

"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".
