An exercise walk around Crookston Castle and the north end of Crookston today produced 32 species including eight Chiffchaffs, six Blackcaps and four Willow Warblers. The path over the hill from Kempsthorn Road to Crookston Road accounted for four of the Chiffchaffs and one of the Willow Warblers. Other notable sightings were five Goosanders on the river, two Nuthatches calling in Rosshall Park, and nest building activity by Magpie, Jackdaw, Woodpigeon, Feral Pigeon and Starling while a Song Thrush was delivering food. Back home, two Greylag Geese passed over in low cloud.

"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".
