A cold walk over Calton Hill this afternoon.
And suddenly we were not alone.
Between the hill and the sky, an amber vibration.
And then this kestrel rippling, attention fixed on the frost-stiffened grass.
Pure concentration.
Sometimes, balancing so high, he was nearly lost to view.
Sometimes, so close, you were relieved not to catch his eye.
Edinburgh is an astonishing city.
