A dawn visit to a Stirlingshire moor produced a lovely selection of birds including croaking Raven, drumming Snipe, bubbling Curlew, singing Skylark, leking Black Grouse and over-flying Canada Goose, Greylag Goose and Common Gull. On the way back, a detour via Arkleston Farm produced 20 Fieldfares on stubble and my first Yellowhammer at the site for at least a couple of years. Later, a walk around south Cardonald produced all the usual suspects (singing Greenfinch and Stock Dove now being recorded daily) plus the following unusual sightings: a Hooded x Carrion Crow hybrid on Moulin playing field, a Collared Dove flying past the east gate of Rosshall Park (and another in the garden when I got home), a Rabbit in the usual area in the park and my first singing Chiffchaff of the year near the pond.

"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".
