Winter Trees and Impressive Birds along the Water of Leith

 I walked round the Dells alongside the Water of Leith today, doing my weekly patrol of the river. The sun was low in the sky and the trees looked beautiful 

If you click on that last photo to enlarge it, you may be able to see a grey squirrel in the right hand portion of the tree. There were three squirrels running around at the time! 

This buzzard was staying very still (probably looking out for small mammals in the undergrowth) 

and this grey heron was very approachable
