A short walk along Greenock Esplanade at lunchtime found the tide well in and the sea almost completely flat. Several parties of Eider were patrolling up and down and a number of Herring Gulls still had this year's young in tow. A Grey Wagtail was feeding on the little corner of beach at the extreme east end of the esplanade and a Rock Pipit was just west of there. Other birds in the area included Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Oystercatcher, Redshank, Shag and Starling.

"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".
