The dovecot
The loch
I'll get an even earlier bus next week and wander round the back of the park where most of the trees are and see what I can see there.I'll also try to find the bee cafe, which is a wild-flower meadow created by local schoolchildren to help bees! I'll need to go back in the spring to see it at it's best of course!
I also noticed that Lochend Park didn't have any photos up on the Visit Woods website, so now I've put that right by uploading some of mine!

You seem to have found a beautiful wildlife haven at the edge of a built up area. It must be a good place for local people to enjoy some peace and to feel closer to the countryside.
Those grey clouds look ominous. A friend in Orkney tells me that snow is falling there today!
It looks as though one of my grand-daughters might end up living in Edinburgh shortly while he partner takes another degree at his old university. When I read your blog Juliet, I realise that she will be lucky to live there.
Great. I will have to save and carry with me all your blog when I come to Edimburgh and...though I am not good at that at all..I must get ready to take photos...
I love dovecotes
I like the idea of a bee cafe! Great name and it's great that children helped create it.
Peaceful ...
What is a dove cot?
Dartford Warbler - it seems to be a very popular park!
Weaver - yes, Edinburgh is a lovely place to live!
Tommaso Edinburgh is certainly a very photogenic city, so yes, bring a camera!
EG Camera Girl - yes the bee cafe is a great project! I hope to blog about it in more detail soon!
Gabrielle - a dovecot is where doves used to be housed in the days when they were eaten.
Sharing your picture with Visit Woods website is definitively a great idea. You are very generous with your art, that is so cool.
I love to come and see what you do on your blog. I don't leave a comment all time, but it is always a pleasure to follow your steps.
Looks like a beautiful park to visit. And a great place to see birds. A visit in the spring time would be great. Lovely photos. Have a great weekend!
