Spent a perfect afternoon walking the Dunbartonshire coast, first around Ardmore Point and later along the coastal path near Dumbarton. The weather was mild and calm, giving the landscape that special "softness" which is all too rare. Highlights of the afternoon were a Rock Pipit duelling with two Grey Wagtails, 30 Wigeon in a flock on the sea, a female Sparrowhawk patrolling the cliffs at Havoc Hole, 2 Goldeneye and 2 Little Grebes fishing along a stretch of the Leven and my first frogspawn of the year - in a ditch on Ardmore Point. The afternoon ended with a Kestrel hunting over Hillington Roundabout, just feet from queuing traffic.

"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".
