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.

Linlithgow Loch was wet and miserable today, but full of good birds including good numbers of Pochards (matching the birds I've seen over the past week at Castle Semple and Waulkmill Glen), a distant trio of Goosanders, plenty of singing Goldfinches and a single Great black backed Gull. Elsewhere, 30 Lapwings were over North Couston sandpit and three Buzzards were between Linlithgow and Falkirk. Small groups of Waxwings have now been reported from Rothesay and Haddington, possibly the beginnings of an influx.
Targets for this week are 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 15, 15, 70. Actuals are 8,643, 8,687, 4,514, 8,538, 6,428, 18,936, 6,731, 62,477.
