Walking to the bus stop this morning, twelve Starling-sized birds in the tops of trees on Cardonald Place Road proved to be Waxwings (my first local birds since 2013). The birds were catching flies and eating berries. Later in the morning and over at Victoria Park, some winter sunshine led a number of species to indulge in early breeding behaviour including Blue Tit (singing and visiting a nest box), Coal Tit (singing), Long-tailed Tit (two birds grappling in the air and falling to the ground) and Coot (a pair mating on a nesting platform).

"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".
