Two good birding walks today: an early morning walk around Ardmore Point produced two Bar tailed Godwits, a Red throated Diver, two Great crested Grebes and several flocks of Goldfinches totalling hundreds of birds. Lingering summer visitors included two Chiffchaffs (one in song), a Sandwich Tern and a couple of Swallows. This afternoon's walk down from Balgray Reservoir was disappointingly quiet (too many anglers, I think) but the crows at Ryatt Linn were mobbing a Kestrel, then a Buzzard. A Buzzard was also the victim of corvid harrassment over Pollock Wood (first for the square).

"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".
