Day 60 - 07:48am, 1 March 2019
I have an early start at work today and so am down at the Water of Leith earlier than normal. I am rewarded by my first wildlife sighting on the river - and no, it's not rabbits, as would have been wonderfully befitting this being the first of the month, but four ducks, three in the river and one on the bank. As wildlife sightings go, it is not exactly spotting a tiger in the undergrowth, but it makes me smile nonetheless. Given its proximity to a busy road and the almost constant footfall of dog-walkers, cyclists and recreational walkers along the walkway, it is reassuring to know that we can share the space. The ducks seem blissfully unaware of me, or if they register me, they choose to ignore me. And I can't help feeling that that is the way it's meant to be.
