Had a meeting at Merchiston late morning, and was surprised by just how much wildlife has crept into and around the decrepit buildings. At least 2 pairs of Swallows were nesting under a ledge above the supplies bay and at least 6 pairs of noisy Rooks were nesting on the western edge of the site. The lawns there are now studded with Cuckoo Flowers (a great improvement) and Starlings, Swallows and Woodpigeons seem to be everywhere. Better enjoy it while it lasts as I hear the site is to disappear under concrete in a year or two!

"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".
