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.

Managed a short stroll along the Cart this afternoon. Lots of bird activity (and some song) evident. Single Grey Heron and 3 Moorhens on the river. Around 30 Redwings in various treetops. Woodpigeons and Jackdaws going to roost. Magpies everywhere (perhaps 20+ between the glade and the school). House Sparrows roosting in the hedge at the old farmstead and the conifer belt along the railway. Three Blackbirds seen, including one in song.
In the garden, of late: up to five Blue Tits, two Great Tits and three Dunnocks; one each of Blackbird and Robin; four or five Feral Pigeons; two mice (scampering out from under the shed), one Grey Squirrel and the odd Magpie; Blue Tits indulging in courtship chases and heard a short snatch of Dunnock song.
