A dreich day started to clear from the west by midday, so took the opportunity to explore the countryside on the edge of Helensburgh. Walked around the pond on the Old Luss Road, then around the two reservoirs there and along the edge of the town as far as a cup and ring marked rock in Drumfad Wood. Natural highights along the way included several pairs of Teal (giving excellent views) on the duck pond, a white domestic Mallard in an overgrown lade nearby, and a Curlew displaying over the moor [12,600].

"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".
