More signs of seasonal changes at Murdieston. Today, the Black headed Gulls were joined by a handfull each of Common and Herring Gulls. Duck numbers are still to build up. The only notables were the three Goldeneye which have been present for the last few weeks. On the smaller dam, the Mute Swan family has dispersed. Only a single adult male was left. The small group on the big dam had risen from 4 to 5 (possibly with the movement of the other bird's mate) but there was no sign of the three surviving young.

"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".
