First Chicks on the Water of Leith...well, the first I've seen! 😃 Four moorhen chicks take their first steps from the nest & within 10 mins, build up the courage to enter the water! #Edinburgh #urbanwildlife #TwitterNatureCommunity #TwitterNaturePhotography #BirdsSeenIn2025

Leith looked stunning in the sunshine today! Enhanced further, by several pairs of eiders, chilling out, on the Water of Leith! #waterofleith #edinburgh #urbanwildlife #eider #leith #wildlife #TwitterNatureCommunity

Lots of dipper activity on the Water of Leith this morning. A few of them were flying passed, with food in their bills, which means they are feeding chicks! #Edinburgh #wildlife #wildlifephotography #TwitterNatureCommunity

The otters on the Water of Leith are slowly coming out of their nocturnal phase, as daylight hours get longer! Lovely to watch this cub coming out of the darkness this morning! #Otters #waterofleith #Edinburgh #urbanwildlife #scottishwildlife

Plenty to see on the Water of Leith yesterday. Leith section was busiest with goosanders, mallards, coots, moorhen, eiders, swans, a variety of gulls & a Canada goose. Numerous garden birds along the walkway, to look out for as well! #waterofleith #edinburgh #urbanwildlife

Never a dull day on the Water of Leith! 1. Kingfisher with snack 2. Heron gets too close to a moorhen nest 3. Underwater male eider & 4. a herring gull with, what looks like, a very old golf ball! #waterofleith #Edinburgh #urbanwildlife #wildlife #TwitterNatureCommunity

Over the last 7-10 days, dippers chicks have started appearing on the Water of Leith, from Balerno down to Leith. Their grey colouring helps camouflage them amongst the rocks & boulders, on the river, so you may hear them B4 you see them! #waterofleith #urbanwildlife #edinburgh

Q- Are there hedgehogs along the Water of Leith? A - Yes! Q - Can they swim? A - Yes...take a look! ⬇️⬇️ A wee hedgehog appears on one of my otter cams on the Water of Leith & then swims off!! #hedgehog #edinburgh #urbanwildlife #waterofleith

I don’t often get to see #badgers in daylight on the Water of Leith but I got lucky this morning! For the next 8 weeks there's a chance of seeing them in daylight for an hour after sunrise & an hour before sunset 🦡🤞 #Edinburgh #wildlife #urbanwildlife #TwitterNatureCommunity

Nine cygnets enjoying the sunshine at the shore section of the Water of Leith! If you’re heading that way, look out for eiders, a pair of Canada geese, mallards & goosanders. #Edinburgh #wildlife #wildlifephotography #urbanwildlife #TwitterNatureCommunity #cygnets #muteswan
