Around 50 Greylag Geese were heading north over the house at 10 this morning (I think these - and those seen over Ardmore Point and Balloch yesterday - must be passage birds that have wintered further south). All day, a succession of small birds including Great Tits, Robins and Feral Pigeons have visited the garden feeders. A trip over to Linwood revealed four Whooper Swans and a couple of dozen Greylag Geese still in the flooded field next to the old schoolhouse. This evening, a Cormorant was high over the river at Cardonald Place Farm (seems a strange date).

"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".
