Made the most of a dry spell around mid afternoon with a bit of atlassing in south east Glasgow. Had noticed that the winter total for NS66W was only 24, so took a walk up by Calderbraes Golf Club to Woodhead Farm. Interesting sightings included two Buzzards soaring together just above the treetops, a Mistle Thrush visiting a probable nest site behind some Ivy on a dead tree and a single Jay which flew across the farm entrance road. Only managed to get the square total up to 29 (adding Great Black-backed Gull, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Blue Tit and Jay). Will need to try and fit in another visit before the end of the month.

"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".
