As many readers of this blog know, I do voluntary work looking after a section of our local river, the Water of Leith. Every Monday morning, I walk the couple of miles from the Water of Leith Visitor Centre upstream to Colinton village. It's a lovely walk and I often see grey herons and dippers and plenty of woodland birds though I've not seen a kingfisher along this stretch of river since I started doing this voluntary work, though I know there are kingfishers here, someone recently saw three of them.... Anyway here are some reflections in Colinton where the river splits into two for a little while before it joins back together at a weir.
Great reflections and that sure looks like a wonderful place to walk.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely reflections. That sounds like pleasant work to look after part of the river in that beautiful area with the birds and all.

Lovely walk. I've seen no kingfishers this year, either. Just wasn't in the right place at the right time.
ReplyDeletehello juliet - this is a such a cool volunteer role to take on . . . . i love the reflections. it's interesting to me because for the last two weeks i've been stopping at gullys, streams, ponds and taking pictures of the reflections. it's been hard to get anything that hums for me though as there's been the constant westerly breeze/wind/gale that accompanies autumn. have a lovely day. steven
