A lunchtime walk around Murdieston Park found the main dam partially drained to allow for repairs to the boardwalk. Most of the waterfowl seemed to have moved away but four Goldeneye were in the deeper northeast corner and a Pied Wagtail was feeding on the exposed mud. Signs of spring included two Rooks attending a platform of sticks in their usual nesting tree and a Mistle Thrush singing in the rain.
