Headed for Dean Castle Country Park late this afternoon after finishing work in Kilmarnock. Up to three Blackcaps were singing in a small area of scrubby woodland and a Stock Dove (first photo below) was feeding quietly in one of the animal enclosures. A Wood Duck on the quarry pond (second photo) was presumably part of the collection. It seemed to be paired to a female African Pintail or similar. Overhead, a noisy Rookery was in full, raucous swing. Today's walking total: 7,256.

"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".
