Today's walk covered the River Avon from Linithgow Bridge to Kinneil Bridge as well as the farmland north of there, the edge of Kinneil Wood and some of the grassland at Kinneil nature reserve. Some of the bird highlights were 200 overflying Greylag Geese, some small groups of Redwings, a single Jay, two interacting Dippers and occasional records of some local species including Redpoll, Skylark and Grey Wagtail. Also notable were plenty of leftover flowers along the field edges and hedgerows, bright orange Sae Buckthorn berries and a single (unidentified) butterfly.

"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".
