Into town and down the Den

We went for a walk yesterday, starting in the Cafe in the Square in town for a sandwich, then along the Burn to the Den of Alyth

The burn often has Dippers in it so walking through town you can watch / photograph them, although many don’t know they are there or, what they are!

Today we saw no Dippers but did spot a couple of lost looking juvenile Black-headed Gulls paddling at the edge.

A little farther upstream sat a pair of mallard ducks, dozing on a small weir.

Grumpy?

He did not look happy to be disturbed!

So that was the start of the walk, before we’d left town!
