This morning's walk took in the Clyde Tunnel and part of Partick. The latter was pleasantly busy, despite it being quite early on a Sunday morning. The afternoon walk was from Howwood to Castle Semple and back. Best birds were two firsts for the year: a couple of Swifts (122) over the loch and numerous Sedge Warblers (123). Also notable were literally dozens of singing Willow Warblers along the cycle track (plus several Blackcaps and Whitethroats but no Chiffchaffs). Also worryingly absent were the Yellowhammers which have been such a feature of this area in the recent past (14,655).

"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".
