Covered two 1km squares on today's exercise walk: NS5565 (Govan) and NS5566 (Partick). Both squares held Willow Warblers and Blackcaps but no Chiffchaffs. Sand Martins were over the Clyde at the Transport Museum. Three pairs of Mute Swans were in the area including one nesting on the slipway at the Transport Museum and one on a pontoon at Prince's Dock. Two waders flew off from the waste ground beside the mouth of the Kelvin but the views didn't allow identification. Bird of the day was a male Wheatear on the graving docks at Govan. The first view suggested a female and a subsequent searcher confirmed two birds were present.

"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".
