Headed over to Hamilton extra early this morning, hoping to check the Clyde at Strathclyde Loch for sawbills. However the underpass from Low Parks was ankle deep in water so had to give up on that idea. Instead, managed a walk along the Cart just as dusk was falling. New in were small flocks of Redwing and Fieldfare, possibly displaced from elsewhere by the snow. Also noticed that the Parks Department have created a tarmac road along the river as it loops around the southern border of Rosshall Park. They have removed a massive amount of scrub and low branches, turning what was a nice little wilderness into something much more manicured. Hopefully, once the growing season begins, nature can repair the damage.

"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".
