Confined to work all day, but managed a quick walk around the centre of Paisley at home time. A Moorhen and three Mallards were on the river and a Pied Wagtail flew over. Best of all, however, was an adult Peregrine which arrived flying downriver at rooftop height. Its flight was slow and deliberate, with oar-like strokes of its wings. As it passed overhead, it showed off the classic "Maltese Cross" silhouette. It then swept up to the top of a pylon and settled there, peering back over its right shoulder. Went back to the car for the binoculars and enjoyed some excellent views before having to head off to the "rugby run".

"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".
