The middle of a glorious day was spent walking around Cowglen, Kennishead, Eastwood and Mansewood, seeking out quiet corners and pockets of wild land. Most of the birds seen were fairly unremarkable, but as before three warblers (Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Blackcap) seemed particularly common. Butterflies were encountered regularly with Orange-tip, Small Tortoiseshell and Peacock all seen. The two 1km squares visited provided totals of 24 and 22 species respectively.

"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".
