Spent most of the day walking in Cowal. Lock Eck was flat calm with Goosander, Cormorant, Dipper and Grey Wagtail the birding highlights. There was frogspawn in some of the trackside ditches and Chaffinch song all along the route. Managed to reach Bernice (Buzzard plus more Grey Wagtails) before having to turn back. On the ferry back to Gourock, a Gannet swooped close off the bow and a Harbour seal surfaced briefly, then slipped quietly away [17,123].

"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".
