Mortonhall Estate, Edinburgh


This pleasant area of farmland, with its network of paths and country lanes, lies on the southern fringes of the city next to Fairmilehead. It's within the city bypass and the sound of traffic is always there, but today I came across three brown hares and lost count of the number of small tortoiseshell butterflies on the wing. Birds encountered included Yellowhammer, Blackcap and Whitethroat - all still singing quite clearly.
