Today's walk along the river in south Cardonald found Mallard numbers up to 22, plenty of juvenile tits and the usual mix of Rooks, Jackdaws and Black-headed Gulls on Moulin playing fields. Some species have started to sing again (presumably juvenile males having a try-out) including Willow Warbler and Stock Dove, but many others (notably Blackbird, Song Thrush, House Sparrow and Robin) are still keeping a very low profile.The other main natural connection of today was with a tick which must have attached itself to my leg during yesterday's Rothiemurchus trip. It was quickly extracted with a pair of eyebrow tweezers.

"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".
