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.

Ardmore Point was all quiet at dawn, except for the calls of Redshank and Curlew, the whistling of Wigeon and 6 Whooper Swans bugling nervously. A Woodcock flew up from beside the path. Out on the sea were two pairs of Slavonian Grebe, two Goldeneye, a Long tailed Duck and (closer inshore) a good-sized flock of Teal. Pick of the waders were two Bar tailed Godwits. Back at the car park, 30 Greenfinches flew overhead (126+3=129/136).
