Water Rail and Lively Squirrels
It's been a dull and damp day today but that didn't stop us going out! We started in Inverleith Park where we hoped to see the water rail and luckily it did finally appear, though it was limping. We hope it wasn't badly injured. Thanks Crafty Green Boyfriend for this photo
We then crossed the road and into the Botanic Gardens. There were plenty of birds to see including this male mallard
But the stars of the show were the grey squirrels - this one looks a little the worse for wear somehow
but the rest all seem in top condition, with glossy coats, fluffy tails and lots of energy

Hello, the Rail is awesome. Great bird. Cute shots of the squirrel. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
The squirrels round here are huge and fat, they love the church yard, you can usually see 7-8 of them at any one time, hurtling around, chasing each other, and sneaking off up the trees with acorns
dear Juliet,
Beautiful photos and you got so close to all these sweet birds and animals.
Have a lovely weekend
hugs
Carolyn
