But the wildlife in the city seems just as willing to show itslf.</p> <p>There are the usual rabbits and foxes (which I still like seeing despite having chickens), but every now and then you get something a little different. This morning it was a Kestrel sitting in a tree by the Innocent Path. He was a wee distance away, looking like a pigeon at first glance, but he looked different enough for me to stop thinking it was a bird of prey. He took off at me stopping - I watched him describe an arc behind me and disappear the other side of the railway. Cheered up my morning. </p>
