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.

Spent a fabulous day in Arisaig. The trip up was fairly uneventful with few birds on view (although a Swallow in Fort William was welcome). Highlights instead were glorious views just north of Tyndrum and then at Ballahullish, looking back up Glencoe. Arisaig proved to be full of surprises with banks of wildflowers on the cliffs, huge crabs in the rockpools (later we caught some with a hook baited with Limpet), glorious views to Rum and Eigg, Razor "Fish" galore and an incredible variety of seaweeds. Birds around the campsite included Pied Wagtail, Rock Pipit, Sand Martin, possible Wheatear, Gannets passing offshore and nesting Swallow. The drive home was fairly bird-free, but brightened up by a stunning rainbow, probably the best I've ever seen.
