Walkway

An email from the Water of Leith Conservation Society alerted me to the sad news that yet another bit of habitat along the River is going to be destroyed. Yes, for the sake of some more faceless flats.

This patch of scrub is a great environment for loads of small birds...I've photographed (and sometimes blipped) several species which are not common locally: goldfinch, greenfinch and bullfinch nesting and feeding areas will all be destroyed. I even saw the kingfisher sitting on that railing once.
It seems that the pathway will be diverted round to the left of here, and the area converted to short grass with a few small ornamental trees.
