A brief stop in the Inverclyde hills on the way to work first thing produced singing Cuckoo, Sedge Warbler and Reed Bunting, alarm-calling Snipe and nesting Pied Wagtail and Grey Wagtail. Flowering plants included Marsh marigold (now past its best), Red Campion (ditto) and Bird's Foot Trefoil (also all along the A8 verge at Newark Castle). At lunchtime, a brief walk in the west end of Greenock produced a real find in the form of two low-flying Swifts, one of which was seen to fly out from a (presumed hole in a) tenement wall.

"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".
