Today's destination was Callander, specifically the crags to the north of the village. Some interesting records from the day included naturalised Fuchsia and Himalayan Honeysuckle; Wild Strawberry and Blaeberry in fruit (both delicious); family parties of Raven and Lesser Redpoll; interesting plants including Greater Butterfly-orchid, Heath Spotted-orchid, Cotton Grass, Bog Asphodel and Honeysuckle; a pair of Whinchats feeding young; Common Blue, Small Blue, Pearl-bordered Fritillary, Ringlet and Small Heath butterflies; numerous Dor Beetles.

"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".
