Back to reality today, with a timed tetrad visit to get done in central Glasgow. Birds weren't as interesting as those of the Keltie Water or Benderloch beach, and the scenery certainly wasn't as good. However there were some notable finds. Jackdaws have young in their nests at the top of the motorway lights where the M8 meets the Clyde Tunnel road. The cemetery there is full of fledged Starling broods. Nearby, a total of five Whitethroats were singing their scratchy song. And most notable of all, a pair of Swallows seem to be nesting in an unfinished Wimpy semi just off Berryknowes Road. Back in the garden, the Blue Tits continue to shuttle back and forth to the nestbox and Bullfinch, Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and Blackcap were all heard around the glade (21,413).

"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".
