Another day of lockdown, another walk to one of my local squares - today NS5562 (Pollok Park north). Only 21 bird species were found - possibly because of the warm weather which had attracted large numbers of people to the park. However some good sightings included seven Nuthatches (including a pair inspecting a possible nest hole), a Treecreeper and very good numbers of singing Chaffinches and Blackcaps. In a continuation of the very good period for butterflies, Orange-tips and Peacocks showed well. Woodland plants in flower included Stitchwort, Bluebell and Wood Sorrel. One that got away was a possible Bee Fly which gave only a very brief view.

"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".
