Late Summer along the Water of Leith

 I was carrying out my regular voluntary work in the Dells along the Water of Leith today. The summer colours are already fading, and it's already starting to feel as though Autumn is on its way, even though we've barely had a real Summer in Edinburgh this year. 

I saw a Kingfisher and two Grey Wagtails flying along the river and walked along the path, hoping to see them again. This view of the area where the birds were flying is much more beautiful in real life than it looks in the photo below, the light must have been wrong for the photo!

 I'll maybe try to get a better photo next time. But it was certainly lovely to see the Kingfisher in particular, they can be very elusive.
