Edinburgh Zoo Trip 2 - 5th February 2023

These are from nearly a year ago! We have renewed our annual pass to the zoo but still not been this year! Planning to go soon and make use of the pass. In other news, I sadly had to leave my job so I am currently looking for another one.

 

Signs

My post for Signs today is this:

I took this on the 8th of December last year. This was part of a normal walk I did and this appeared! Just a little bit up beyond the gate is a waterfall and about a half mile a pond then another half mile a few more ponds. This is kinda in the middle of nowhere but there is a water plant to the right, so I guess this must be for their staff!

Meet Colin

This beautiful creature is Colin. Full name Colin Hissy! He appeared around December time at the pond. I had a feeling that the swan was male so called him Colin. Being a young one, he is very wary and hisses a lot, that is why he got the name Colin Hissy. He hasn't been there for 2 days now so I wonder if he has moved on. He was on his own, just him along with the ducks, crows and the Heron at the pond. I really hope he comes back soon as I am starting to miss him! Just means more food for the crows and ducks!!!

 

I'd also like to wish Jimmy Page a happy 80th birthday for today! I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan!

Spot The Heron

I took these photos today. So can you spot the Heron in both?

 

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone!

I had planned a few posts over Christmas and New Year and them boom I was struck down with a terrible chest infection that seems to be doing the rounds in Scotland just now. I finished work on the morning of Christmas Eve and was fine then after a few hours sleep I was really unwell. It just hit me and floored me! Glad to say I am a lot better now! I hope everyone is well and enjoyed their Christmas and New Year :-)

I had a few photos of the cats for Christmas Day, so I'll post them just now! Better late than never haha! They don't wear collars but I got this festive collar with their Advent Calendar!

Up first we have the new kitten Stitch.

Next we have Jethro...he wasn't for posing!

Next up we have Abby, again not really one for posing!

And finally Chiana who sort of posed!
