Easter Monday in The Figgate Park

 The weather has been lovely today, certainly nice enough to enjoy an easter Monday walk round Edinburgh's Figgate Park. The willow trees are looking lovely 

 

and the Norway Maple's beautiful flowers are out at the moment, I was lucky to find these ones hanging at a suitable level to take easy photos

There were plenty of birds around, which I have recorded for the Birds in Greenspaces project, but only these Mallards were willing to pose for the camera - the male was being very protective of the female, keeping an eye out while she ate
