Today started beside the River Clyde with Glasgow basking in the sunshine and looking near it's best. Later, a walk around Balgray Reservoir produced good numbers of singing Willow Warblers, Sedge Warblers and Reed Buntings. Blue and Great Tits both had newly fledged young and a female Mallard had 8 ducklings. Slightly unusual birds for this heavily disturbed site included Coot (on the adjacent pond), Grey Heron and Pied Wagtail. Finally, a Lapwing was calling from the field where at least one was present a month ago.

"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".
