Today's working day in Dumfries started at Cummertrees where a nice male Garganey was on floodwater with a female Goldeneye and six Teal. Nearby were 100 Pinkfeet, a Hare, 95 Whooper Swans and a single Mute, plus singing Skylarks and numerous Reed Buntings. In the afternoon, a short walk along the river at Kingholm Quay produced a singing Chiffchaff (my first of the year) plus a Cormorant catching and swallowing a huge flatfish. Also unusual was a dead sheep being swept down the river on its back.

Back at Kingholm, it looks like the big buildings at the corner of the quay are being demolished (shot below).
