In the Dells

 Lovely in Colinton Dell today. Everywhere looks so green

This is part of the Water of Leith Walkway / cyclepath as it follows the old railway line through Colinton Dell. Passing through a tunnel on the way

The Bog's Mill wildflower meadiw is very colourful at the moment 

and the insects love the tansy flowers, I don't know what these insects are, by the way...

I saw a handsome Red-legged Shieldbug but the photo was too poor quality to share. 

I also saw two unusual birds, which wouldn't let me even try to catch them on film. At first I thought they were chiddchaffs, but then I soon realised they were too large and too yellow. This suggests they were wood warblers, which would be amazing, I don't know of these birds being seen here since the 1980s. They weren't singing, which would have helped identify them! They were hopping round in the trees by the orchid meadow

 
 A bird that did let me take its photo was this grey heron, standing motionless, fishing.
