A fun morning wading in the Bavelaw Burn with fellow @wolct.bsky.social volunteers. Managed to get a hole in my waders so ended up with a wet left foot but we did get out a good deal of litter including a flag pole found by yours truly.

Cracking morning for a stroll through Burdiehouse Burn Valley Park from Straiton Road to Gilmerton Road. Lovely park although I did notice a lot of litter at times. Highlight was a good view of a Kingfisher.

A lovely stretch of the Water of Leith upstream of Spylaw Park was the focus this morning with @wolct.bsky.social I enjoyed litter picking along the water edge and amongst the woods.

Beautiful autumn morning for a wade with @wolct.bsky.social on a stretch between Currie and Balerno. No Japanese Knotweed spotted but some litter picked.

Bright breezy afternoon for @edcriticalmass.bsky.social ride to Lochend. Loved the Halloween themed soundtrack, riding along North Bridge to Sweet Transvestite a particular highlight!

Forgot to take a photo whilst litter picking this morning but did enjoy the session.
Thanks to everyone who came along to the 2nd Coalie Coalition session. We were joined by some fab volunteers from Citadel Youth and got loads done! We filled more setts at the mural, swept off the skatepark, seeded the grass, and planted wildflowers and herbs. Great work folks!

Went to a talk about Alfred yesterday with curator Louise Pearson & writer James Crawford. Alfred was certainly an interesting character, looking forward to seeing the exhibition.

Another Monday morning wade with @wolct.bsky.social working upstream from Bell's bridge. No Japanese Knotweed spotted but we did get some litter out. Strong flow of water following last night's rain & we saw two roe deer run across the river.

Damp morning for gorse cutting with Holyrood Park rangers clearing a rock face above Dunsapie Loch but still good fun.

Spent an enjoyable couple of hours litter picking on Calton Hill with @caltonhill.bsky.social That's 2 bags worth of litter no longer spoiling this beautiful site.

Was having a quiet moment with Anthony this morning when a kingfisher flashed by. Twenty metres upstream a young grey heron quietly sought something to eat. The Water of Leith providing a wee slice of nature in the city @wolct.bsky.social

The last of the oysters we cleaned this morning. Next Wednesday they'll be deployed in the Firth of Forth as part of #RestorationForth Here's hoping they do well. @wwfscotland.bsky.social @mcsuk.bsky.social @seabirdcentre.bsky.social

Another Monday morning spent with @wolct.bsky.social wading in the Water of Leith upstream of Currie Kirk seeking out Japanese Knotweed. One plant spotted, some Balsam removed as well as 2 bags of litter.

This picture doesn't really show how breezy it still is this morning. Saw a couple of trees had fallen onto the path but this section of the Chancelot path was very clear of leaves and branches. Still managing shorts & no gloves.

Beautiful photo and a great place for a drink. We also had a great sunset for our family get together the night before our son's wedding.

Thought we'd have a quick pint on the way home, not often we visit a pub on the south side of town. Haybob and Black Isle blonde.
