Managed two walks along the Cart today. On the first (at 9 am), songbirds were particularly in evidence with Starling, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Wren, Robin, Blue Tit, Great Tit and Goldcrest all chipping in. The House Sparrows on Moulin Circus have suddenly become a lot more active and there were single Grey Wagtail, Goosander (female) and Little Grebe along the playing field stretch of river. On the second walk (at 6 pm), a Cormorant flew upriver and a pair of Goosanders were resting near Bonnyholm Bridge. In between, discovered 2 clumps of newly-laid frogspawn in the garden pond (FIRST OF THE YEAR).

"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".
