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.

Another day - another tropical connection. Temperature in eastern Mallorca today was 33 degrees. Went for a walk to the castle on Punta de n'Amer - the whole area is a fantastic natural oasis in a desert of tourist developments. Highlights were about 20 Red legged Partridges together in a field (or were they Chuckar Partridges?), a stick insect, giant hornets, a big flying beetle and a Hoopoe feeding on a hotel lawn (see picture).
Heading for the Son Jordi hills tomorrow.
