Atlassing in Rutherglen, Prospecthill and Toryglen first thing - a very different habitat from yesterday. The suite of birds present reminded me of the housing estate where I grew up, except for the very obvious addition of Magpie (a rare bird in those days). Highlight was probably the presence of Mistle Thrushes at several sites (outnumbering Redwings and Fieldfares). Also notable were a pair of Magpies attending a half-built nest in Edinberg Avenue. Additions to the tetrad list consisted of Mallard, Common Gull, Goldcrest, Rook and Pied Wagtail.

"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".
