Plenty of species were in song around Balloch today including Mistle Thrush, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Goldcrest, Nuthatch, Robin, Treecreeper, Wren, Dunnock, Chaffinch and Goldfinch. The Long-tailed Duck which has wintered in the area was showing well from the shopping centre and there were plenty of Goldeneye on the Leven (although no Mandarins on this occasion). Most interesting record was probably the pair of Oystercatchers I saw flying over a corner of Loch Lomond - my first inland birds of the year.

"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".
