Brown Rats seem to be taking over the local park and riverside walk with eight seen this morning. More welcome were three Kingfishers, including one diving to catch a fish. Thirty Black-headed Gulls on Moulin playing field were also notable. Today's walk was extended to loop around the tower at Leverndale Hospital (where seven Whooper Swans flew over heading east). The tower is being covered in scaffolding so I assume some major work is to be carried out. What impact this will have on the Ravens which nest there every year is open to question.
