A walk up Cairn Table from Muirkirk was curtailed by heavy rain. However family parties of Meadow Pipit and Wheatear on the way up (a female and two fledglings of the latter together on fenceposts) were some compensation.Earlier in the afternoon, at least eight Song Thrushes and a similar number of Blackbirds were feeding on the Muirkirk Football Ground. I don't remember seeing such a concentration of Song Thrushes before, and can only conclude that at least one family party was involved.

"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".
