Another lovely day in West Central Scotland. A short walk at lunchtime found four Swifts soaring high over the west end of Greenock, then careering between the tenements. Down at the esplanade, groups of Eider drakes were hanging about and a Great Black-backed Gull lumbered by. Back up near Ardgowan Square, a pair of Common Gulls were a complete surprise nesting on a ledge near the top of a three-storey tenement and mobbing a Carrion Crow which was scavenging rubbish on the pavement below.

"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".
