Managed to escape the Clydeside Garden Centre trail for an hour this afternoon, so headed off to Baron's Haugh to see what was about. Best bird was a nice juvenile Ruff [161] feeding out on the open mud with at least 18 Snipe. It was also nice to see at least 20 Gadwalls, the males back in breeding plumage and starting to display to eachother. A few Teal were also back in breeding colours, but the Mallards were all still in eclipse. Heading back to the car, a Kestrel flew over with the typical flap-flap-glide jiz.

"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".
