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.

Awoke to a loud warble coming from the Silverglade woods, similar to a Wren's song in pitch and volume, but with a distinct churr in the middle. I heard the same song last spring and summer. It may be an early Blackcap.
The other notable natural connection was at the other end of the day - a single Pheasant in the first Finlaystone meadow.
Migrants are now piling in further south with Pembrokeshire birds reporting singing Chiffchaffs plus a passing Swallow and 20 Sand Martins. Ospreys have been reported from Hampshire and Hertfordshire, and Garganeys from Cambridgeshire (3 sites), Sussex, London and Berkshire. In Scotland, a Wheatear arrived on Mull and two more were reported from Galloway, while the two Sand Martins in Musselburgh yesterday were the earliest ever for Lothian.
