This afternoon's walk found the river swollen with overnight rain and meltwater. The Goldeneye, Goosanders, Tufted Duck and Teal all seem to have moved on. Even the local Mallards were struggling to resist the current. A Moorhen at Leverndale repeatedly dived under the surface of the water. Other notable sightings were 20 Siskins over Hawkhead Park and 7 Greenfinches in the treetops next to Ross House. High counts included a flock of 14 Long tailed Tits, and 8 Grey Squirrels together on one small patch of ground.

"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".
