Glencorse 23 September 2018
This outing was cancelled by the fishery management on 19th September, based on weather forecasts… which turned out to be inaccurate!
A good autumnal day and good sport with dries.
Spotted this guy along the cycle path at the Warriston Crematorium area. As well as being partly leucistic (as many Edinburgh crows are), he has a more significant mutation, which is referred to as ‘crossed-bill syndrome‘. It seems to be quite common in birds, and I would be inclined to suspect it was the origin…

An early visit, after missing most of them last year when they all seemed to go up in September, and getting good water height following big rain, 2 days previous. Decent numbers leaping. All shot with an 85 mm f1.4 IS lens.
Various sights while wandering the cycle paths, Victoria Park, Starbank Park.and Warriston Cemetery…
… under the bridge at Warriston Gardens, and a ‘graffiti wall’ at Chancelot Mill…
