Rhododendrons, Cute Cats and a Kingfisher

 We had a trip to the Royal Botanic Gardens on Saturday, hoping to see the first lot of rhododendrons on display and we weren't disappointed! Here's a selection of the various rhododendrons currently in bloom - I love the variety of colours! 


 


We were also delighted to meet this beautiful cat with bright blue eyes

you can really see the eye colour in the photo below
 
we also met another cat hanging out at one of the Botanics' ponds 

At this point, I have to admit that I was more interested in the Kingfisher that  was flying around the pond, occasionally diving into the water. You can just see the splash of kingisher orange and turquoise in the far tree in the photo below - click on the photo to enlarge it 

The Botanics pond is a surprisingly reliable place to see Kingfishers in Edinburgh!
