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 highlights of a very pleasant walk along the canal between Broxburn and Linlithgow were four Tree Sparrows at Wilcoxholm, a Linnet at Philipstown, three Goosanders and a Bullfinch on the outskirts of Broxburn, ten Greylag Geese, two Lapwing and a pair of Wigeon on floods near Pardovan Holdings and plenty of singing Skylark, Reed Bunting, Yellowhammer and Chiffchaff all along the route (including 5 of the latter in Winchburgh alone). Chris's photos of Goosanders, Reed Bunting, Blackbird and two canal scenes below.


Back home, a male and female Greenfinch, male Chaffinch, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Blackbird and two Dunnock all visited the garden during a two-minute watch.
