Went for a lunchtime walk along the river and managed to get the best of the day. Birds were fairly meagre with only a single Raven at Leverndale Hospital and a Buzzard at Hawkhead in any way notable. However the cereal fields at Cairnhill had just been harvested and good numbers of corvids and pigeons were gleaning among the stubble. In the woods, Long-tailed Tit flocks were at three sites and assorted Coal, Blue and Great Tits were squeaking away in various places. At least three groups of people were gathering berries, highlighting what an excellent crop there has been this year. They seemed to be after Brambles, but Rowan, Elder and Hawthorn were also present in profusion.

"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".
