A late afternoon walk along the river to Hawkhead estate, and back via Hawkhead Woodland threw up various interesting sightings. Most notable were a Kingfisher near the Catering School, a Sparrowhawk flying leisurely over Hawkhead football field and several flocks of Redwings filing into the woods from farmland further south. Most surprising sighting was of a canoeist struggling on the river just upstream of the rocky river bend (the first time I've seen anyone navigating any of the stretches I've walked in the past 12 years). Also unusual were two bulls in Bull Wood (11290).

"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".
