A Raven was calling over the west end of Paisley mid-morning. At home time, a Chiffchaff was calling from the UWS car park. In between, the Black-headed Gull flock on the River Cart was holding a high percentage of first summer birds. At home in south Cardonald, a Blackcap was singing and both Chiffchaff and Bullfinch were calling unseen. Two Kingfishers were along the river (one showing well as it sped off upstream) and two Moorhens were tending a nest with newly-hatched young. The nest, near Bonnyholm Bridge, must have been at water level at some time but is now on a tree branch a metre above the river. Back home, two Swifts performed a low flypast at 9:30pm and a little later, a possible Tawny Owl called three times from the woods.

"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".
