A Kingfisher flew upstream near the gate to Rosshall Park this afternoon. At least three Swifts were in the area - the second day running they have been present. Most interesting sighting was of twelve Goosanders making their way upstream and hunting in a tight group. They all appeared to be juveniles. Earlier, a Swallow was alarm-calling and mobbing a Jackdaw on the roof of Silverburn Shopping Centre. Presumably it had a nest up there. Meanwhile another two Swallows were over IKEA car park. The final notable record of the day was of quite a large ground beetle lumbering across the path just upstream of the Cardonald Place footbridge.

"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".
