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.

Saturday, February 25, 2006

Quite a good week for natural connections. Monday afternoon (a holiday) was spent at Castle Semple Loch. Plenty of wildfowl about (including a single male Goosander) as well as singing Chaffinch, House Sparrow and Blue Tit (inspecting a nestbox - below).
Tuesday's trip to Ayrshire turned up very little. Wednesday was spent in Argyll, with still no wild flowers on the verges (only Crocuses, Snowdrops and Narcissi) and few birds about. Best were a pair of Hoodies by Loch Eck and a winter Guillemot just off Hunter's Quay.
Thursday was unusual for a sighting of a Rabbit in the first, sea level field below Bishopton (it may have been in the sights of a Buzzard perched on the roadside fence). Weather for tomorrow is to be quite good, so here's hoping!
