Once again, plenty of species were singing around my home square today including Coal, Blue and Great Tits, Wren, Robin, Mistle Thrush, Greenfinch, Nuthatch, Stock Dove, Woodpigeon and Collared Dove. A Little Grebe on the river was a slightly unusual sighting although I suspect it has wintered there, mostly unseen. In the afternoon, Murdieston Park had 13 Mute Swans (including one pair circling overhead), four Goosanders and a Grey Wagtail.
