Today's lunchtime walk around the Murdieston Dams confirmed that the pair of Mute Swans on the smaller dam have failed completely. The pair on the larger dam had their full complement of 7 healthy young. Meanwhile two Coot nests contained, respectively, two large young and an unknown number of new hatchlings. Signs of summer included blue damselflies and flowering Fox and Cubs. However there were also signs that the summer, for some, is over: immature Lesser black backed Gulls bathing in the reservioirs and the first Mallards entering eclopse.
