A very brief walk around Murdieston Park revealed still one pair of Mute Swans with six cygnets. There were also at least two pairs of Coot with young. Jackdaws were feeding noisy fledglings on the reservoir banks and a single Rook was feeding amongst them. A Blackcap was singing loudly from the north shore of Town Dam.

Heading home, a Great spotted Woodpecker bounded acrooss my field of view at Bridgend Cottages and alighted on a telegraph post.
