Today's walk began with a female Goosander on the river, two Song Thrushes having a "sing-off" and a Dipper (unusual here) flying downstream towards Hawkhead. The eventual destination was the 1km square containing Hawkhead Cemetery, Scott's Road and south Ralston. Birds in the cemetery were fairly limited although a pair of Mistle Thrushes were gathering nest-lining material. The hedgerows and fields bordering Scott's Road held more birds, the highlight being a singing Yellowhammer. The total for the square was 22 bird species and one mammal (Grey Squirrel). New for the square were Mallard, Chiffchaff, Mistle Thrush, Dunnock and Bullfinch.

"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".
