I spent the majority of today in Edinburgh, walking the footpaths around Blackford Hill. Birds on the way up included Nuthatch and Stock Dove. The views from the top were amazing with good visibility and cloudless, blue skies. Blackford pond was almost entirely frozen with only two Mallards, a Little Grebe, a Moorhen and a Grey Wagtail present (all gathered around an impossibly small ice-free area). For the second day this week, I was treated to a lovely alpenglow on the journey back west.

"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".
