Ardmore Point was full of birds today with over 100 Shelduck and 60+ Wigeon in North Bay, at least two Great-crested Grebes and three Slavonian Grebes offshore, Canada Geese, Oystercatchers and Lawings flocking on grazed fields, Greenfinches, Chaffinches and other songbirds feeding in low vegetation and three Mute Swans flying out into the Clyde. Also notable were quite a lot of spume deposited on the tide-line, a pellet wedged in a fence post (presumably a raptor/owl perch) and flowering Red Campion, Scentless Mayweed and Bindweed. A hunting Kestrel was also a nice find. Heading home, a Buzzard and twenty mixed winter thrushes were at Arkleston Farm.

"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".
