A lunchtime walk around Murdieston Park found the broods of 6 Mute Swan cygnets and 5 Coot chicks still intact. At least another four Coots were on nests and the pair of Mute Swans on the island in Town Dam were still sitting tight. Having said that, I am not convinced that there are any eggs in their nest, or indeed if they are indeed a pair (although they are behaving like one).
Back at Cowdenknowes, two Swallows were feeding over the middle of the dam and two Swifts were wheeling over tenements nearby. Finally, a single Rook was cawing from the small Rookery.
