The centre of Edinburgh this afternoon was sunny, if a little breezy. Birds around Calton Hill consisted of Long-tailed Tit, Pied Wagtail, Dunnock and Woodpigeon. Back home, an evening walk along the river found the three Stock Doves in their usual place and four Mistle Thrushes feeding on Rosshall School playing field. A collection of birds including a Stock Dove, a couple of Woodpigeons, four Goldfinches, two Blackbirds and a Mallard (and a Grey Squirrel) were angrily mobbing something near Rosshall Park Pond but I couldn't work out what it was (Fox or Buzzard would be my best guesses).

"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".
