Today's lunchtime walk was accompanied by driving rain. However birds were much in evidence. Two Redpolls feeding around the margins of Cowdenknowes Reservoir were my first for the site (taking my total there to 53 species). Also there were a single Cormorant and three Goldeneye (including a nice male - my first here this winter). The water levels at Cowdenknowes and nearby Town Reservoir had been lowered by about a metre, exposing quite a lot of mud. Two Pied Wagtails were enjoying the conditions at the latter.

"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".
