A pleasant walk around Mugdock Park this afternoon produced two Lesser black-backed Gulls with the Black-headed and Common Gulls on Craigend Pond, and both Goosander and Goldenye paired off on Mugdock Loch. A single Frog was on the approach road to the park but the breeding pool south of the casle was all quiet. The pond in the back garden is also, apparently, still uncolonised this year.
