A flower, it grows, it fades, it falls
And nature cannot renew it,
But worth and truth, eternal youth,
We'll give to Willie Stewart

Robert Burns

My favourite version of the song by Eddi Reader.


Out early, before breakfast, and down to the nature reserve. A lovely sighting of a kingfisher on the far bank. Too far away to photograph I am afraid but wonderful to see. Back home for a wonderful breakfast before getting the bird book out to try and identify some water fowl that we didn't recognise.
