A few glances over the parapets of the various bridges in the Yorkhill and Partick areas found some great local birds including Grey Wagtail, Dipper and Sand Martin. The latter species is almost certainly breeding again in the retaining wall of the River Kelvin under the Benalder Street bridge. At least five birds (probably double that number) were flying over the adjacent river and at least four nest holes were being visited. Also notable in the general area were an adult and two juvenile Ravens, presumably locally-bred.

"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".
