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.

Things have been really hectic lately, but that hasn't stopped the natural connections coming thick and fast (as they always do at this time of year). Highlights of the past few days have included a couple of Red Fox cubs romping in the estate, a male Greenfinch and a Collared Dove drinking from the bird bath, and a female Greenfinch visiting the peanut feeder (for the first time since we've been here).
This morning started cold with frost on the car windscreen (its 31st May!!!). Had to go to Kinross today. One of the photos is of a view across Loch Leven from the town. The other is from Vane Farm RSPB which I popped in to on the way down. Highlights there were vast clouds of insects, path banks full of wild flowers, Swallows nesting on ledges in the "underpass" and late Whooper Swan, Barnacle Goose and Greylag mixing with hatched broods of Mallard and Shelduck.
Evening highlights were a Swallow and 5 House Martins hawking over the Cart.
