Mains Loch (I was today years old when I learned that that was the name of the loch in the James Hamilton Heritage Park, East Kilbride) was very quiet today with more walkers and dog walkers than birds. Normally reliable species such a Little Grebe, Coot and Tufted Duck were nowhere to be seen. Paserines were also very thin on the ground. My eventual species total for the site was a measly eighteen.

"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".
