The dredger Magnor

Fetched a newspaper from Margiota first thing. Cold but not freezing, wind from the NE. 

Out in the afternoon by Victoria Park to Newhaven and then Lighthouse park. We've been watching the big dredger from our windows all week; the topside towers are distinctive. 

There are at least three tugs involved, the GPS Avenger, Union Onyx and Union Topaz, moving and shepherding the big hulls being used for the material dredged up. Blip shows one of them on the right (possibly this from ten days back). The big backhoe made quite a splash as it entered the water. This is all part of Forth Ports redevelopment of the outer harbour beside the new deepwater berth. 

Cold in the wind, cold on the hands - it didn't feel anything like 5C. Back in by the Western Harbour ponds; one pair of swans on one of them, and only one male in evidence on the other pond where we've seen a pair several times. Past Newhaven harbour to the tram, and there was a shower coming on just as we left St Andrews Square.
