A nice sunny day today so took a walk up to Corstorphine Hill which is a lovely walk with lots of wildlife. Saw loads of birds including spotted woodpecker, green woodpecker, thrush, kestrel, 3 buzzards - one being chased and harried by a crow, 2 others dive bombing each other!! Also saw swifts and swallows and lots of smaller birds including wrens and a goldcrest, the UK's smallest bird.
Other wildlife spotted included loads of bunnies, one of which looked like a dutch rabbit! Also spotted a couple of squirrels and a few butterflies including cabbage whites and painted ladies. Rounded off the walk to the walled garden which is looking lovely just now and is testament to the work of the volunteers from FOCH. A magpie landed right in front of us and we got a good picture so will post this in due course.
