Five Goosanders on Cowdenknowes Reservoir and another on Town Dam (both Greenock) were surprising finds this lunchtime. Less surprising were the eight Whooper Swans with Pink-footed Geese beside the M8 (other local birds were reported to have arrived over the past few days). Over 70 Redwings and a handful of Mistle Thrushes were in Greenock Cemetery where there were at least 22 rosettes of Rustyback Fern along a short stretch of wall. Down at the coast, a Cormorant caught and swallowed a fish, a Rock Pipit pottered quietly on the shingle and a Razorbill was just off the Cove Road.

"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".
