A walk around a blustery Bonnytoun Farm produced a flock of between 70 and 100 sparrows, consisting of one or two male House Sparrows plus numerous female and juvenile House Sparrows and at least some juvenile Tree Sparrows. Individual birds were hard to make out due to the flock being very flighty and the weather being so blustery. However the large number hints at a good breeding season and augers well for the winter population at the site. I feel a November or December visit coming on.
Birds on Linlithgow Loch were unremarkable. Again, a winter visit should produce more of interest.
Linlithgow train station had some nice patches of Valerian growing out of the masonry.
