Had a good walk today, along a section of the West Highland Way between Dumgoyne and Drymen. Weather was mild, with even a little sunshine. Natural highlights included early singing Robin, Starling and Chaffinch, hedgerows full of lots of Blackbirds and a few Fieldfares, Greylag and Pink footed geese in wayside fields, single Treecreeper and Reed Bunting near Gartness, and a Roe Deer slipping away through the woods.

"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".
