Walked along the river as far as Rosshall bridge. The damage from last week's flooding is tremendous. Whole sections of river bank have been virtually washed clean of vegetation, while others are piled high with branches and other debris. Quite a number of trees have come down, although most of them were in a sorry state already. On one section of bank there are clumps of lily-like plants pushing through. It will be interesting to see what they turn into. Not quite so many birds around, but it was nice to see a stunning male Siskin (flushed, with a Redpoll, a Chaffinch and some other birds from the damp ground under the Alders), 11 Greenfinches (in the treetops) and a noisy Robin (filling the last few minutes of daylight with its lovely, liquid song). Later, saw two Foxes chasing across the main road into the estate. Not too surprising as this is the time of year when pairs form.
