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.

Checked the nest box first thing. None of the usual begging calls were heard. Instead, just an adult-like call answering one calling from the woods, and the sound of scratching. Watched as a juvenile repeatedly clawed its way up to the entrance hole, and eventually burst out, fluttered onto the guttering above the window, then flew off strongly into the woods. I think he must have been the last to go as the box is now silent.
A morning trip to Ayr turned up 5 Swifts swooping low over Beech Grove and single Kestrels at the Mugton Roundabout and near Loans.

Sure I heard a Blackcap singing clearly from the scrubby area behind the Glade this evening. A young Great Tit is visiting the feeders.
