A male Kingfisher. His breast was a bright orange glowing globe in the light. As a kid I imagined this bird with a crown fishing. I have never stopped being excited by that regal flash of blue. These last few years I have appreciated closer views. #birdingscotland #kingfisher #edinburghwildlife

One of the foxes I saw just before Xmas was there again last night. The same spot and time.
We shared glances, the city oblivious….we both slipped back into the night. #FoxOfTheDay #UrbanFoxes #EdinburghWildlife

End of the year was spent in good company, two days out in the trot,a new record, and so worth it!
We had a flyby Kingfisher, a resting Sparrowhawk and a lovely family of Long-tailed Tits who were feeling the cold. #sheclicksnet #birdingscotland #edinburghwildlife #longtailedtit

More Waxwings? Oh go on then!
Continuing the birding trivia a group of waxwings are called an "ear-full" or a "museum" of waxwings. Who knew! #birdingacotland #waxwings #birdingtrivia #edinburghwildlife

Encounter with an Otter (Lutra lutra) this morning on the Water of Leith near Saughton Park. Watched it for an hour or so before it went to ground for a sleep. #Otters #WaterOfLeith #EdinburghWildlife #Nature #Photography #Nikon @wolct.bsky.social

Doing some odd jobs in my patents' rather neglected garden, happened across this wee chap 😍 I got a surprise but he never stirred! Left him to his snooze and moved away.

Hedgehogs are out of hibernation. First one picked up by the garden camera coming into the garden via the hedgehog highway. Feeding station back out tonight. Fingers crossed for hoglets this year. #Hedgehogs #GardenWildlife #EdinburghWildlife #Scotland @scotwildlife.bsky.social

Look how cautious this fox is. They just avoid anything they don't understand or have not encountered before. Clearly does not like the camera! #Foxes #GardenWildlife #EdinburghWildlife @scotwildlife.bsky.social @mammalsociety.bsky.social

Brief sighting of an adult otter (Lutra lutra) under the footbridge at the entrance to the allotments at Saughton late this morning. Lost sight of it as it went downstream in the fast current. #Otters #WaterofLeith #Nature #EdinburghWildlife #Photography #Nikon @wolct.bsky.social
