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.

A glorious day here in West Central Scotland prompted an afternoon drive to Aberfoyle. Highlight of the trip up was a Grey Heron flying at great height north of Killearn. The walk from Aberfoyle to David Marshall Lodge passed through Birch woods alive with Chaffinches, Robins, Blue Tits and Great Tits (the latter three in song). However the pond at DML was quiet with only two Mallards. Highlights of the drive home were huge flocks of geese on the mosses each side of the A81 and a flat-calm Clyde viewed from the Erskine Bridge.
News from the web is of the first butterflies of the year - a Small Tortoiseshell near Girvan, Ayrshire and a Peacock at Corsewall Point, Wigtonshire [also a Ruby Tiger (moth) larva in Ayrshire].
