Today's exercise walk again covered two areas: Dumbreck/ Bellahouston Park East and the largely urban area to the north of Bellahouston park. Both squares produced 24 species with the three common warblers featuring in both. Only Feral Pigeon and Bullfinch were added to the Dumbreck square but seven species (Goldcrest, Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Swallow, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Grey Wagtail) were added to the other. Surprise of the day was probably the singing Willow Warbler and the feeding Swallow at the derelict Woodville Street Park (with a second of the latter species over industrial units nearby). The only mammal record consisted of two Rabbits on the lawn of a commercial building on Edmiston Drive.

"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".
