Dalkeith Country Park

We try to visit Dalkeith Country Park at about this time every year, primarily to see the Bluebells, which make a spectacular display, alongside the Ramsons, which are generally in full bloom at the same time too. We had timed it perfectly! 

 

Some of our favourite paths around the park are currently shut off, so we needed to find a different route

The path opened out at one point and we passed some barns where a group of Swallows were nesting, it was lovely to see them all flying around. Even more wonderful, was to see two hares chasing each other around the fields! We've never had such good views of hares before! Here are a couple of photos of just one of the hares
