Clear blue skies today came as quite a shock after the rain of the last week. A lunchtime walk to the dams found even more Tufted Ducks and Coot than of late, plus lots of juvenile Lesser black backed Gulls. The Tufted Ducks are interesting. Some are all brown, but others have a pale blaze around the base of the bill. Some males are still (or back) in breeding plumage. Several today were quite tame, feeding close to the shore. However the majority stayed well out in the middle of the bigger of the two dams.

"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".
