Managed to squeeze a full day's walking out of what looked like being a bit of a washout. In fact, the only weather of the day consisted of snow over Carstairs Moor first thing and a flurry of sleety rain whilst dropping down into Kirkfieldbank. In between, a walk up the Clyde as far as Bonnington Linn and back produced dramatic waterfalls plus a Dipper, a pair of Goosander and a pair of Ravens. Later, a walk along the Cart produced an alarm-calling Mistle Thrush and a Red Fox drinking on the far bank.

"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".
