Plenty of birds were on Balgray Reservoir this afternoon including Tufted Ducks, Mallards, a family of Great crested Grebes (the chicks squealing to be fed) and a single Wigeon. Thirty Swallows were over fields next to the reservoir and young Linnets and Goldfinches were in the hedges. An older brood of Great crested Grebes (3-4, now almost indistinguishable from winter adults) was on Ryatt Linn Reservoir and twenty or more Starlings were chattering in a tree behind Silverburn shopping centre.

"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".
