Egg minding on the Water of Leith.
Not the usual Bernard Street nest, but another one just along The Shore at Sandport Place.
Edited to add:
Since you can clearly see the ringed leg in this shot I forwarded it, with details of the nest site, to the Lothians & Fife Swan and Goose Study Group. I got this information back:
NUJ dark green (metal W32838) was ringed as a cygnet on the R. Tyne, Haddington on 5th August 2012. It moulted at Musselburgh in summer 2013 and 2014 and nested at Bernard Street bridge in 2015 fledging 5 young. Did not nest in 2016.
