We had a lovely walk round Corstorphine Hill this weekend. The autumn colours were still amazing, largely because, apart from one storm, we've not had much high wind, so a lot of leaves are still on the trees. Unfortunately the colours didn't come out particularly well on most of the photos, due to the lack of sunshine, but this photo gives a good idea of the beauty of the leaves
We were lucky with birds on the hill too (though no photos of the birds!). We had a great view of a Kestrel and also saw a Great Spotted Woodpecker working its way up a tree and five Jays flying across the hill. Jays aren't uncommon and we know they nest on Corstorphine Hill but they are oddly elusive and it's always particularly nice to see them
Last Thursday, I had had a lunchtime walk round Harrison Park, a short walk away from our flat, and the autumn colours were beautiful there too
