The usual walk along the river in South Cardonald produced an impressive 34 bird species today. Many were singing or engaging in other breeding behaviour. Perhaps most remarkable were two Song Thrushes which flew round in circles at break-neck speed, only a few cm apart. I have never seen this behaviour before. A Stock Dove was singing near its nest hole and two Mistle Thrushes feeding on a playing field just possibly might have had an early brood. Some slightly unusual species were Kingfisher, Greenfinch, Buzzard and Little Grebe.

"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".
