First!

I went across to Stockbridge and had a stroll through the Dean Gardens which were full of birds tweeting and flowers blooming. Then, after a visit to the splendid Mellis emporium for the purchase of much cheese, I walked back along the Water of Leith; saw lots of beautiful spring-like sights, but have ended up blipping the three ducklings that I saw before I set out. They were still racing about when I returned about three hours later, with parents out of shot but in close attendance. First ones I've seen this year.
