Sunday 3 june

A nicer day weather wise today as there were some nice sunny spells but the odd spot of rain.  Today we took a walk along the water of leith which was idyllic and so peaceful.  All the wildflower was blooming and there was lots of birdsong so it was lovely to be out on a nature walk today and enjoy all the sights, smells and sounds of this time of year.  Ended up going into the grounds of the Scottish gallery of Modern Art and saw a few swifts and swallows flying about over the grassy banks.

Back on the river sawa couple of dippers and a few squirrels in the leafy branches.  Also spotted a couple of bullfinches and a possible outlier badger sett so definitely a worthwhile exercise and always a pleasure to walk along the riverside here as it is a haven for animals, plants and flowers.
