Today's walk from Port Glasgow to Woodhall produced some interesting sightings including: over 500 Dunlin roosting on a breakwater, two Black Guillemots moulting from winter into summer plumage, a Black-headed Gull with a well-developed hood and a flock of at least 73 Eider feeding co-operatively (possibly to avoid having their catches stolen by Herring Gulls).

"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".
