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.

Another mild day for a walk along the Cart. Very little birdlife on show (the Goosanders, Cormorants and Grey Heron seem to have moved on) with only a Moorhen near the Mosspark Station bridge out of the ordinary. News from the web is that an Osprey has arrived at Caerlaverock, D&G.
