Managed to squeeze in a quick walk around Murdieston Park this lunchtime. Most notable sightings were two Little Grebes and a good total of seven Goldeneye. The latter tend to peak at this site around March. Only female types have been present all winter but today a breeding plumaged male was also seen. At least two females were associating with him. Back gardens adjoining the site held a Grey Wagtail and a singing Greenfinch. This evening, a medium sized bird over the M8 at Bishopton was probably a Woodcock.

"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".
