Today's walk was around my home square of south Cardonald. Thirty seven bird species (plus Grey Squirrel) were found, the highlights being a Grey Heron taking a newly-hatched Moorhen chick on Rosshall Park Pond, a Sparrowhawk being mobbed by gulls as it displayed overhead and a Common Sandpiper feeding quietly along the river. The supporting cast included Kingfisher, Nuthatch, Stock Dove and the three common warblers (four Willow Warblers, three Blackcaps and seven Chiffchaffs).

"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".
