Today's expedition was to Ardmore Point which, first thing, was almost completely deserted. Some interesting land birds encountered included at least eighteen Meadow Pipts (presumably passage birds), two singing Chiffchaffs plus Linnet, Rock Pipit, Stock Dove, Pied Wagtail, Buzzard and a Jay. Coastal birds included Canada Goose, Shelduck, Red-breasted Merganser, Goldeneye, Wigeon, Teal, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Shag and lots of Common Gulls plus seven Slavonian Grebes and three Red-throated Divers. Plants in flower included Daffodil, Dandelion, Coltsfoot, Crocus, Snowdrops, Lesser Celandine, Gorse and Green Alkanet.

"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".
