Big, flattish, light brown ones with gills mostly. Will look them up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1549#post-15234 Mon, 25 Oct 2010 10:09:30 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 15234@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sadly I didn't make it up (although my usual Sunday morning Figgate wander gave me Long-Tailed Tits and the elusive Little Grebe, so I was happy). Sounds great though - there's actually a fungi foray there this coming Sunday I think - any idea what kind of mushrooms there were there? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1549#post-15207 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 18:16:05 +0000 SRD 15207@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anth - thanks for this. We had a nice afternoon ride across -- started a bit late so rode en cavalcade with soon-to-be-big-sister on bike seat and her bike on trailer, until we got to the Innocent, after which we all rode (and she rode the 4 miles or so back on her own). At 38 weeks, I find I am much more mobile on bike - but we must have been quite a sight. </p> <p>Anyway, getting into the reserve was cool - we have often peeked over the locked gates and wondered what we were missing. Didn't see any terribly exciting birds but the guided tour was interesting -- mostly about the trees and conservation of the area. Turns out it was brownfields until the 1970s,when they started planting trees, building ponds etc. Most interesting. </p> <p>And the Innocent was just lovely (as always). Very jealous of those of you who get to ride it on a daily basis.</p> <p>PS - after we got all the bikes etc locked up, woman on gate said 'oh, do you want to bring them inside?'. We'll know better next time! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1549#post-14864 Mon, 18 Oct 2010 09:23:48 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 14864@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.swt.org.uk/news/enjoy-autumns-wild-delights-this-weekend-at-edinburghs-exclusive-wildlife-reserve/">Next Sunday</a></p> <p>Pretty easy to access by bike, and loads of railings to chain to (though not sure how secure it would be, but then I'll likely be walking from my house!). </p>
