Today we had a lovely walk along the Water of Leith from Roseburn to Stockbridge.
There were plenty of birds to see including dippers
a grey heron
and goosanders
This part of the river walkway passes by the beautiful St Bernard's Well with its statue of Hygeia, the goddess of health
St Bernard's Well is open tomorrow as part of the Doors Open Day, as is Dean Gardens, a private garden on the opposite side of the river from the walkway. We visited St Bernard's Well as part of Doors Open Day in 2016, it's well worth the visit - you can see some of our photos on my Shapeshifting Green blog here. I visited Dean Gardens last year with one of my birdwatching classes (someone in the class has keys to the garden - you can see my photos from that visit here) another place well worth visiting on Doors Open Day!
It looks such a nice walk.
ReplyDeleteAmazing how still the grey heron is.
All the best Jan
