An excellent day of natural connections. Managed to set off for work a little earlier than usual, so stopped at West Ferry to check for Whimbrel. Sure enough, three birds were feeding nervously among the rocks (121). Later, a lunchtime walk around Murdieston found two Mute Swans sitting tight (on eggs?) and a pair of Coots with six newly hatched young. Other birds included singing Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler around the cemetery (where there was an excellent growth of Rustyback Fern on a south west facing wall) and Starlings, Blackbirds and Chaffinches all gathering food for young. (9,647).

"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".
