Coate Bridge Walk (Sunday 31st August 2025)

I returned to Devizes for a final chance to see the eight cygnets, after a Morrison's shop, and this time I was at least partially successful. I parked at Coate Bridge and walked back as far as  Brickham Bridge before turning around as a narrowboat passed, and soon met up with three of the cygnets swimming towards me, one mewing constantly.

As you see, I got my blip and walked on as far as Devizes Marina looking for the other five, but didn't see them. The mewing cygnet joined me there and I met up with other two again on the way back.

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Harmonia - Watusi (1974)
The Watusi was a popular dance in the early sixties, mentioned in countless songs, and was actually named after the dance of the Watusi tribe, as seen in the 1950 film King Solomon's Mines.
This 1974 piece is by the German supergroup Harmonia, comprising Cluster's Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius, joined by Neu! guitarist Michael Rother. It was recently played on R6M's Freak Zone.
