Some of the highlights of a walk around Mugdock Park today were singing Tree Pipit (2) and Skylark (1). Three Great Spotted Woodpeckers were bickering in the treetops, eight Swallows seemed to be attending nests in derelict buildings and an agitated Pied Wagtail near the castle probably had a nest or chicks nearby. Totals of singing birds included fifteen Willow Warblers, seven Blackcaps and a single Chiffchaff.

"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".
