A calm day, compared to the winds of yesterday, prompted lots of birds to be active in south Cardonald. Long-tailed Tits were active at three sites (including four together at one), Cormorant and Little Grebe were fishing the river and the most notable singers were Mistle Thrush, Dunnock and Wren (all of which have become much more evident this week). Song Thrushes and Blackbirds were encountered frequently but mostly feeding quietly along hedge edges. After being fairly rare of late, more than 50 Redwings had gathered in the treetops (accompanied by 20+ Starlings and 8+ Siskins) and were chattering and buzzing loudly. The latter is behaviour I have witnessed several times before, always around this time of year.

"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".
