Another day's annual leave to use up - so took the opportunity to visit the RSPB reserve at Inversnaid. The weather was very un-spring-like, with wind, rain and hail. Consequently few birds were on show. A distant bird call over Loch Lomond temporarily raised hopes of a diver or even a scoter, but turned out to be from a Canada Goose on one of the islands. Best bird of the day was a male Merlin flashing across the road, perching briefly on a fencepost, then dashing away. Other sightings of note included Goosanders on Loch Arklet and both Feral Goat and my first Primrose of the year in the Inversnaid woods [20,223].

"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".
