Decided to do the WeBS count at Cowdenknowes /Town Dams first thing. The Mute Swan pair on Town Dam were shepherding four newly hatched cygnets while the other pair were still sitting tight. Also notable were 50+ Swallows and a single House Martin roosting in waterside saplings at either end of the main reservoir. Two Willow Warblers and a Chiffchaff (the latter my first for the site) were defying the rain and singing loudly while a pair of Rooks were attending the only near-complete nest (of four) in the "micro-rookery" at the east end of the site.

"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".
