The usual walk along the Cart revealed a further increase in birds. Not sure whether this is because of an influx of new birds, or because the existing ones are easier to see now that the trees are losing their leaves. In any case, highlights were 5 Moorhens (2 pairs and a single), a Grey Wagtail and as many as 20 House Sparrows. No sign of any Goosanders as yet. I guess we will have to wait until a prolonged cold spell. Local highlights from the web are Waxwings in Renfrew and Golden Plovers at Arkleston.

"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".
