Bird benefits

A #2minutecleanup today on the Roseburn Path (route 1 of the National Cycle Network) while I was on a walking meeting with a colleague. It felt good to get back to litterpicking and a few people stopped to tell me that they did the same. As one of them said 'You can achieve so much with just one sweep up the path". We bumped into another colleague and had a great catch-up chat, and also saw over 20 bullfinches on our way between Haymarket and Leith, as well as a mistle thrush dashing across in front of us. So, the path benefited from the litter pick-up, but I think we benefited more - from being out in local greenspace and connecting with people. This meeting also gave me a chance to 'share' as part of my Award - gifting the result of a Christmas knitting project to my colleague, who I know looks out for birds on the National Cycle Network routes too, as well as in her garden. Win win win.
