Dipper

A cloudy start, but it clears quite quickly. Quiet walk on my own today as partner went to the supermarket to get green olives with chilli. Views quite a bit more hazy than they have been this week. Buds are starting to open on some trees in the park. 

Met with the other residents' association in the afternoon for a quick meeting. Then met with the garden services manager to discuss what needs doing, and when for a quote for regular maintenance. Managed to get out a wee bit later in the afternoon than usual for a walk down to the Braid Burn. Cloud has arrived, but the rain is holding off. I spot a dipper and have to carefully walk down to the water's edge over last year's bramble stalks. The blip shows the clearest image from the camera. Further downstream, I spot a pair of mallard ducks on the water, Extra. Too chilly and breezy to sit int he park on the way home. Rain arrives a few minutes after we get in.
