Heavy rain in South Glasgow has raised the water level in the river and created puddles all over the playing fields and paths. Some of the local Mallards have given up their usual haunt on the riverbank and were splashing about in a huge puddle in the depression where the old canal used to run. Blackbirds (11) and Song Thrushes (3) were out in force, presumably exploiting the ready availability of earthworms. One Song Thrush with a beakfull of worms must have had a brood to feed.

"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".
