Autumn Approaches in the Dells

 I walked along the Water of Leith, through Colinton and Craiglockart Dells today. It was a beautiful day, bright sunshine with a slight autumnal chill to the air. A lovely day to record wildlife and pick litter!

The pictorial flower meadow in Spylaw Park is still bright and blooming 

I was happy to see several Speckled Wood butterflies flying amongst the trees. I was less happy to find this dead Common Shrew, it had no obvious signs of injury, so I don't know how it had died. I very rarely see this little mammals when they're alive.
