Today was my third day working in Shawlands. At lunchtime I walked around the 1km square covering the centre and western portion of Queen's Park as well as the area around Langside Hall and along Minard Road as far as Strathbungo and down the railway line as far as Nithsdale Road. Coot and Mallard both had young on the water while a large group of Long-tailed Tits presumably included a fledged brood. Best sightings were up to nine Swifts (in groups of 6, 2 and 1) and three Collared Doves (both additions to my all-time list for the square which now sits at 48 species).

"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".
