The warm sunshine in Falkirk today attracted four Red Admiral butterflies to a Buddleia bush in the Grahamston Retail Park. A Common Darter was on the boardwalk through the Helix Park and another drgonfly species was on the Union Canal at Summerford. The Teal on the River Carron next to the Kelpies were still in eclipse plumage but the Mallards on both canals were in breeding plumage and some drakes on the Union Canal were starting to display. Although it has long since gone over to seed, the Sweet Cicely along the canals was particularly fragrant.

"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".
