Nearly fifty Redwings were in the trees along the river this evening. They were chattering and trilling away, this time in the company of two singing male Greenfinches. It is fascinating to observe these birds in spring as they get ready to migrate north. I have been watching them in south west Glasgow for the past ten years or more and the flocking together and communal singing are annual events. Two Redpolls and a singing Blackbird were slightly unusual.

"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".
