Today's exercise walk, centred on Haggs Castle Golf Course, was the least urban of the week. The 1km square includes the south west corner of Pollok Park, a large part of the golf course itself and a corner of the Corkerhill housing estate. Highlights included three singing Nuthatches (the first time I have found the species in this particular corner of the park), at least five singing Chaffinches, at least five singing Song Thrushes (including two birds having a very heated "sing off"), three singing Chiffchaffs (five more were heard on the way to and from the square), my first flowering Cuckoo Flower of the year and Roe Deer slots in the mud. Additions to my previous species total for the square were Nuthatch and Feral Pigeon. The total bird species count for the square was 28 (plus one mammal, Grey Squirrel).

"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".
