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.

Woke up at 5 30 am to the sound of the dawn chorus. Then had to drive to Dumfries and back, the return journey via the A76. Noticed two Curlews and about 20 Lapwings over roadside fields (well inland). Also, the first lambs I've seen this year. Up near the Eaglesham Road end, a pair of Lapwing were mobbing a Carrion Crow which had strayed into their territory. Total of 3 Kestrels but no Buzzards.
News from Radio Scotland is that the Kittiwakes returned to their nests on Dunbar Castle today. The 16th March is the traditional return date according to the "Coasties" (people who live and work around the harbour). News from the web is that a Mute Swan is on its nest beside the water of Leith.
