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.

The much-forecast rain finally arrived at Portnaluchaig at 2 am. Thereafter, wind and rain were the order of the day. A quick detour to Mallaig only provided Shag and Herring Gull around the harbour, plus singing House Sparrow nearby.
The drive home was only slightly spoiled by patchy rain. A stop at Tyndrum produced Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Robin, House Sparrow and 40 Chaffinches at the feeders outside the Real Food Cafe. Later, at Inveruglas, a Swallow was feeding young in a nest under the visitor centre canopy.

Woke up to clear and sunny weather with excellent views of Rhum and Eigg (above). Walked around the campsite for a while (watching a pair of (?) Common Terns fishing and feeding a noisy juvenile) but spent most of the day out in the Wild Rover (below). Headed out towards Eigg and caught some Mackerel and a small Rock Cod (which went back in) beofore cruising around the "Welcome Rocks", watching Shags, Gannets, auks, gulls and terns.
