The highlight of a walk along the river through Leverndale Hospital was a male Kestrel hunting from one of the trees around the "big field". A Grey Heron was being mobbed by Magpies as it flew up from the river. A Kingfisher called unseen and dozens of Fieldfares and Redwings foraged in the leaf litter. As dusk fell, a Raven arrived to roost on the tower.
