Pittencreiff Park in Dunfermline was fairly disappointing in terms of natural connections. The Tower Burn was particularly poor with not a single bird located along the 1km I walked. The water looked and smelled horrible - presumably there is something nasty pouring into it further upstream. Birding highlight was a small Rookery at the west end of the Abbey precincts which had attracted a noisy group of seven birds squabbling over the five bundles of twigs which have survived the winter so far.

"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".
