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 the afternoon dodging the snow showers in Arbroath. One of the highlights was a walk along the clifftop path (below) which was made all the more dramatic by the sudden squalls blowing in from the North Sea. Birding highlights there were a male Kestrel, quite a pure-looking Rock Dove and a flock of around 30 Curlews, all battling with the wind. Earlier, stopped off at Errol to look at the reedbeds there. The landscape thereabouts is fanastic - more like the Lincolnshire fenland or the Hungarian puzta than anywhere else in Scotland! Other highlights today included plenty of inland Curlews and Oystercatchers, a possible White tailed Eagle (in the middle of a ploughed field), a possible Black Grouse (on a fence post) and many hundreds of (presumably pink footed) geese in fields next to the A90.
