Today started with a walk around Murdieston Dams. Most interesting sightings were a single Goldeneye (a moulting drake) still present, both Mute Swan pairs incubating (with the three immatures from last year still present - I thought the adults were supposed to drive them off before resuming nesting), a single Rook attending the micro-rookery (two nests) and gloriously flowering Marsh Marigold. Later, a walk south from Lunderston Bay produced a good bird list consisting of: Canada Goose (two pairs), Eider, Red-breasted Merganser (displaying), Gannet (two fishing), Curlew, Redshank, Sandwich Tern (five fishing), Common Gull, Herring Gull, Woodpigeon, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, hybrid Carrion x Hooded Crow, Raven, Goldcrest, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Chiffchaff, Wren, Blackbird, Robin, Dunnock, two White Wagtails, five Pied Wagtails and eleven Meadow Pipits feeding together on new grass, Chaffinch and Goldfinch. Also notable was a profusion of flowering Golden Saxifrage along the banks of a little burn. 
Heading home, a single Kestrel was unusual at Wester Commonside Farm.
