A working day in Paisley meant a walk along the river first thing, with the return walk at tea time. Highlights in the morning included singing Whitethroats at Moulin and Leverndale, three singing Chiffchaffs (outnumbering Willow Warblers), a pair of Bullfinches at the south east corner of Rosshall Park, the usual Mute Swan at Hawkhead and (unusually) a Rabbit on the Leverndale field. On the return leg, a Whitethroat was singing at Hawkhead (with eight Swallows nearby), a brood of two Mallard ducklings was on the Cart, a Great spotted Woodpecker was over Leverndale field, a family group of Long tailed Tits was mobbing a Magpie at the southwest gate of Rosshall Park and a Hooded Crow X Carrion Crow hybrid was feeding a normal juvenile at Rosshall Park Pond.

More changes were evident along the cycle path including at least four big trees felled (including the one at the corner next to the natural weir), and a new gate at Hawkhead Estate Park.
