A walk around Murdieston Dams in Greenock this lunchtime produced three new broods of Coot chicks (it seems to have been a very good and very prolonged season for the species at this site) and the seven Mute Swan cygnets still present. Monkeyflower was flourishing around the margin of the main dam and also around the little pond on Old Inverkip Road. Rustyback fern continues to thrive on the wall of the cemetery nearby with at least 23 plants along a 10 metre stretch.

"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".
