Another sunny day today, but with the wind round in the north, colder than of late. A brisk walk around Murdieston Park at lunchtime found two pairs of Mute Swans, one apparently incubating eggs. Two Coots also had their first nesting attempt well underway, although another pair had unwisely chosen a site next to the place where the locals feed the gulls. Most interesting sighting was of a Common Sandpiper scooting across the main dam and feeding on the grass banks (my forst here). Also interesting was a nice white Feral Pigeon. Today's walking total: 8,300.
