Spent most of the day walking in East Lothian. Terrain consisted of a mixture of farmland, upland (Traprain Law) and lowland river (River Tyne). Bird highlights included breeding Tree Sparrow and Skylark in farmland, Wheatear, Stonechat and Linnet on Traprain Law and Grey Wagtail, Grey Heron, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Sedge Warbler and Bullfinch along the Tyne (plus lots of Yellowhammers, Goldfinches, Swallows, House Martins and Swifts). Other sightings included a couple of Rabbits and some Teasel plants (23,000).

"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".
