Bees and waterbirds

Although the afternoon and evening have been dull and rainy today, this morning was beautiful. Lots of bees enjoying the sunshine on the Hypericum bushes in Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Gardens

Lovely to see the waterbirds enjoying the sunshine too - here's a moorhen in the Chinese Garden pond 


 The pond is covered in waterlilies at the moment


 and you get a lovely shady view from the little pagoda 


In the main pond, the mallard ducklings are growing up quickly

Nice morning to be out.

Glad you had *some* sunshine. We had wall-to-wall rain two days ago when we were having a day-out with a friend. Just grey today ...

Looking very pretty and bright there! We've had out 20 minutes sunshine allocation for the day, back to grey now.
