Arthur's Seat is one of our favourite places for a weekend walk, not least as there are a number of different walks to do on the hill. Yesterday, we enjoyed a sunny morning walk and were back home in time to avoid getting wet in the (much needed) rain that fell for most of the afternoon.
One of the most wonderful things about Arthur's Seat is that Ravens nest there and yesterday we were lucky enough to see three of these magnificent birds, though only one deigned to be photographed
and Cow Parsley
With it being Spring, some of the water birds had youngsters with them, we were delighted to see this Mute Swan family with four cygnets
As we were getting towards the end of our walk, we met this magnificent male Pheasant

Oh I really love how peaceful and full of life this walk sounds Arthur’s Seat is such a gem. Seeing ravens, ladybirds, and baby swans all in one stroll feels like nature showing off a bit. Do you go often during spring? I imagine every visit feels a little different.

What a lovely walk around Arthur's Seat. It looks like you had a truly delightful morning, seeing ravens, beautiful wildflowers, and so many ladybirds. The swan family with cygnets and those tiny ducklings must have been incredibly sweet. It's always a treat to spot a pheasant, especially near the end of a walk.
