A bitterly cold wind was whipping across Hogganfield Loch during a quick lunch stop en route to Huntershill. Seventeen Whooper Swans were mooching for bread in front of the car park. Among them were four juveniles. A male Goldeneye was diving among the swans with two males and two females further out. The usual male Gadwall was whistling and displaying to some female Mallards. Meanwhile five peachy male Goosanders were displaying to a single redhead.

"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".
