An afternoon walk from Balgray Reservoir via Pollock Park threw up a number of interesting sightings including singing Grasshopper Warblers (127) beside Ryatt Linn Reservoir and near Darnley Mill Pond, nine Great crested Grebes (including two on nests) at Waulkmill Glen Reservoir and a Hoodie hybrid in Pollock Park. Once again, warblers seemed to be everywhere (for instance, a 100m stretch of the Cart opposite Cardonald Cat and Dog Home had two Whitethroats, a Willow Warbler, a Chiffchaff and a Blackcap all in song, while a small clearing near Darnley Mill Pond had three Whitethroats (one song-flighting), two Willow Warblers, a Chiffchaff and a Blackcap ). Sedge Warblers were also very evident (23,169).

"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".
