Today's walk covered the almost completely urban square centred on north Cardonald. The only significant patch of natural habitat is a narrow strip of grass and trees just north of the raiway. Today it held the only warbler of the square - a singing Willow Warbler. Altogether twenty species were noted, three new to my ongoing square total (Willow Warbler, Goldcrest and Chaffinch). House Sparrow was the most obvious species. I counted 57 calling birds but there were probably many more.

"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".
