Spent a sunny day down in Inverclyde. First bird seen was an Osprey circling over the Clyde near Newark Castle. There were two broods of Tufted Ducks on Town Dam - one of two medium-sized chicks and one of four tiny ones. An unusual Mallard was also present. It had quite exaggerated colours and a lot of white patches. Down at Gourock, two Black Guillemots were in the bay, three Swifts were overhead and a Sandwich Tern flew past, pursued by two juveniles.

"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".
