A walk up to Binnie Craig near Uphall in West Lothian today found Swallows and House Martins moving constantly past the summit. Thirty of the latter were feeding in the lea of a shelter belt to the east. A flock of birds following a plough on the outskirts of Uphall held several hundred mixed gulls (Black-headed, Common, Herring and Lesser Black-backed), smaller numbers of corvids (Rooks and Jackdaws) and at least two Buzzards.

"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".
