A female Sparrowhawk erupted from a garden in Oldhall first thing, while a House Martin was over the houses there. Continuing the House Martin theme, up to six nests were being attended on the north wall of the Erskine Hotel and a single nest was being visited in the Napier Estate, Govan. Two more nests at the latter site appeared to have fallen down, perhaps due to the very dry weather or the attentions of the many large gulls in the area. The other birding highlight of the day concerned at least ten Common Terns feeding at the outfall opposite Newshot Island. Non birding highlights consisted of Red Soldier Beetles and Cinnabar Moth caterpillars on ragwort at the north end of the Erskine Bridge.
