Took an afternoon walk along the Cart as far as Pollokshaws, then followed the Auldhouse Burn as far as Kennishead and the Brock Burn between Silverburn and Crookston Castle before picking up the Cart back home. Highlights included two Kingfishers entering a nest hole in Pollok Park (with singles at three other sites), a pair of Grey Wagtails under Shaw Bridge (with three bickering near Kennishead), two Dippers on the Auldhouse Burn (including a singing male), a singing Nuthatch in waste ground behind Stonehouse Drive and an Oystercatcher on Auldhouse Recreation Field. Other wildlife included a mouse sp in a bin in Pollok Park, Hawthorn and Larch coming into leaf, flowering Coltsfoot on the bridge over the Cart on Pollokshaws Road and flowering Willows near Crookston Castle (with a bee sp taking advantage of the supply of pollen).

"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".
