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 couple of hours on Dumbrock Muir (below) this morning. Highlights were 3 mewing Buzzards in the air together, a drumming Great spotted woodpecker, a whinnying Little Grebe and 3 Goldeneye on Dumbrock Loch, a possible Jay (screeching), a hunting Kestrel and a flyover Raven.
Later, kids thought they saw a duckling with a pair of Mallards on the Cart at Corkerhill (from the train). Surely not!
News from the web is of Wheatears in various south coast counties, Little Ringed Plovers as far north as the English Midlands, Swallows in four scattered counties and Sand Martins in seven (including at least one at Strathclyde Loch).
