Out And about in Edinburgh

A great day for a walk around Edinburgh ended up on Blackford Hill.



Picked up a for legged friend on the way but he soon got distracted by some fluttering in a hedge and vanished from sight.


Spotted some amazingly coloured Fungus it was quite luminous in the sunshine.



On top of Blackford Hill I took a few shots of the Craighouse Campus before it becomes covered in expensive houses.





Also on the hills was a Wheatear  a female I think. She stopped off for a meal on her way to spend the winter in Africa.



Always a great view  and on a sunny day you can't  beat it.



Down at Blackford Pond a Coot was admiring his reflection in the water and chatting away to himself .






Meanwhile a juvenile  Little Grebe was perfecting its fishing technique with great success.
