A windy walk up to Murdieston Park was rewarded with the first Goldeneye of the winter - five very wary individuals (all female/juvenile/eclipse types) scattered across the main dam. Also there were a pair of Goosanders, the male moulting out of eclipse plumage. On the small dam, the Mute Swan pair are now completely alone, the interloping pair (and their attendant Whooper) and the four juveniles having all disappeared.

"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".
