Meadows Yard Local Nature Reserve is a small site off Fillyside Road near Seafield. The Number 12 bus goes there, so I went up today. It is quite tiny but very cute with a wee pond and some bird boxes which tits were prospecting but not using yet I think. It was full of singing gold- and green- and chaffinches today, plus blackbirds, bluetits, dunnock. PLUS a few bunnies right out in the open and a FOX. Which I turned a corner and almost walked into. Twice. He seemed right at home there and very red in the sunlight.
Then I went across to the shore and walked right along the sea front to Portobello - seeing Oystercatchers, Redshank, bar-tailed godwit, Eider duck and four flavours of gull, plus a lot of starlings. I know starlings aren't doing so well some places, but Portobello has plenty in case anyone else runs out.
Plus there was an easily identified stone. Just the one. Which was cool in a very odd way.

participation in questionnaire
My name is Abdel Alfituri, and I am a Masters student at Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland, writing a dissertation on blogging.
The study aims to identify the motivations that lead bloggers to create and maintain their blogs, and to assess how these differ in different parts of the world.
The success of the project is completely dependent on sufficient numbers of active bloggers agreeing to take a few minutes to complete a short questionnaire. This has been designed to have as few questions as possible, while also collecting useful data on which I can base my analysis.
You can be reassured that the data is collected and held completely anonymously – I only require some very basic information about yourself (e.g. age, gender).
If you could spare me a little time to complete the questionnaire I would be very grateful. If you would like to find out more information about the project then please contact me on 05014886@napier.ac.uk, or else my supervisor, Dr Colin Smith, at cf.smith@napier.ac.uk
