A walk along the river this afternoon turned up a number of unusual sightings. Five female Goldeneye and a male Tufted Duck were on the loop around the south side of the park. They were joined by a Cormorant while a Grey Heron "Frank"ed nearby. Back at the Moulin stretch, another Goldeneye was with 10 Mallards under the Rosshall School Bridge. Finally, a Woodcock was flushed twice from the tiny remnant of Pollock Wood across the river from the glade.

"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".
