A brief stop at Haydon Bridge this morning produced a good range of common village birds including Mallard, Moorhen, Black-headed Gull, Oystercatcher, Buzzard, Swift, Grey Wagtail, Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin, Blackbird, House Sparrow and Greenfinch. The Grey Wagtails, Mallards and Blackbirds all had dependent young. Monkey Flower was growing profusely on the old bridge. Later, a short walk along the merse at Gretna produced two Little Egrets, nine Common Sandpipers, four Dunlin, a Knot and a Ringed Plover.

"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".
