Seals are often a common sight in Leith docks, but it's a first for us to hear one has worked it's way up to Redbraes weir. Hopefully just on a fishing mission and will head back to sea after it's checked out the scenery. @ScottishSPCA have been informed just in case.

A huge thank you to volunteers Tony, Cate and Joe who spent three hours litter picking the Leith basin and removed three rubble bags of plastic rubbish. We've been caring for the river since 1988 and won't be stopping anytime soon. #waterofleith #TakItHame

#otter update. Mother and cub are doing well. Here is some adorable footage of them rolling together. Regular grooming (by rolling or nibbling) keeps their coat in good condition, essential for water proofing and heat regulation.

Stockbridge sorted. A merry band of 22 cleaned the river, pathway, swept steps and slopes and gave the wee medicinal herb garden a good weed. Was a cracking day for it...even if the river was a touch lively.

Wonderful to get the opportunity to create a #meadow with #Edinburgh shoreline seed mix along the river at #Leith basin today thanks to @fingaledinburgh and @EdinburghShore1 . The dock area does not have much greenspace and it vital to use what we can to help #pollinators .

A little bit of give back this morning to one of tributaries of the Water of Leith. After several years of intense Giant Hogweed treatment on this section of Murrayburn. It was great to be able to plant it up with 200 native trees from @TCVtweets as part of #IDigTrees project.
