Managed to squeeze in a very quick walk around the Murdieston Dams during my lunch break. Lots of birds and some much-needed sunshine created a lovely scene. The Mute Swans on Town Dam were pottering around last year's nest and four Rooks were in the nesting tree at the south east corner of the site. A Moorhen was slightly unusual on Town Dam and two Goosanders, three Goldeneye, a Grey Heron and a Cormorant were on Cowdenknowes. Best sighting was a Grey Wagtail on the overflow channel - they have been really rare hereabouts this winter.

"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".
