Another perfect spring day with warm sunshine and little wind. The frogspawn in the garden pond has multiplied to 5 or 6 clumps (someone in Ayrshire has tadpoles already). Meanwhile, on a day for arrivals, summer migrants are creeping in locally with Wheatears, Swallows, Chiffchaffs and Sand Martins at several sites. Signs of breeding include discarded Rook eggshells in D&G and Dippers nest-building in Lothian.

"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".
