Natural Connections

Modern life in Scotland is increasingly busy. The connections our ancestors had with nature and the land are being lost. As leisure time shrinks, or is filled with hi-tech experiences, opportunities to experience nature become fewer. And yet it is possible to connect with nature on a day to day basis. All around us, the great web of life continues to hold its shape, and nature continues its eternal cycles. Keep looking, listening, smelling, touching - and keep experiencing natural connections.

Walked around Ardmore Point under blue skies, but in a bitterly cold Westerly wind (see picture below). Most notable birds were small flotillas of Eider (the males calling "Woo-Ooo-oo"), a few pairs of Red breasted Merganser and the ubiquitous (and noisy) Oystercatchers. Odd Red throated Divers loafing and preening well offshore. Also, a possible Slavonian Grebe (pure white cheeks flashing in the distance). Best sighting of the morning? My first Snowdrops of the year, under Bramble bushes next to the path (see below).
