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.

Working in Dumfries again today. On the way back home, parked up at the Dalveen Pass for a quick scan of the area. Up to a dozen Wheatears were in the immediate area (including four males in a high speed chase) and three Buzzards were hovering in the updrafts and dive-bombing eachother. Also there were dozens of Rabbits including several black ones. Further along the A702 at Glenochar Bastle were Curlews, Lapwings, Oystercatchers, Meadow Pipits, a single Moorhen, Starlings, House Sparrows, Swallows and Jackdaws around the settlements, and more Wheatears.
