An evening walk around Hogganfield Loch produced two Pochards, a juvenile Great-crested Grebe and a Mallard with three small young. Later, twelve Lapwings including juveniles (one of which had a deformed foot) were feeding on the cropped turf of Stepps Playing Fields. The group attracted the attention of about 20 Carrion Crows which chased any bird which managed to find a worm. The evening ended with groups of Swallows heading west over Millerston Rugby pitches.

"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".
