Walked from South Cardonald to Renfrew via Penilee and Arleston Farm this lunchtime. Plenty of song (Collared Dove, Woodpigeon, Goldfinch, Wren etc), courtship (Feral Pigeon) and nest building (Magpie) going on. Arkleston Cemetery was alive with birds including four Mistle Thrushes bickering noisily, around fifty Fieldfares and a few Redwings "sub-singing" from the treetops and a single Skylark singing briefly. Most intriguing record was of a brief yelping call from stubble beside the approach road to the cemetery which may have been a Snipe.

"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".
