Today's lunchtime walk took in Greenock Cemetery and the Murdieston Park dams. Good numbers of Greenfinch, Goldfinch and Chaffinch were in the cemetery with two Grey Squirrels and (unusually) a Rabbit. Two Cormorants were diving together on Town Dam. Over on Cowdenknowes Dam, a Coot had nearly finished nest building. A single Rook also had a good-sized nest at the east end but the rookery of a few years ago seems to have petered out. A hundred Jackdaws were wheeling overhead and the three Goldeneye from last week were still present.

"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".
