The weather report suggested rain in the afternoon so I headed to Milngavie first thing to have a walk around Mugdock Wood. The main target species, Tree Pipit and Spotted Flycatcher eluded me. However some good local birds were found including Nuthatch, Jay, Great Spotted Woodpecker and Buzzard. Non-bird highlight was a Privet bush humming with hoverflies and hosting at least five Painted Lady butterflies and a Red Admiral. Some other interesting birds in the general area included Blackcap, Willow Warbler, Mistle Thrush and Grey Wagtail.

"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".
