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.

Had a long working day (while the sun shone outside) in Campbeltown, but managed a fantastic evening walk and drive. The walk along the beach west of Southend produced a mixed fishing group of 20 Shags, 10 Gannets and a single Sandwich Tern, three Sanderlings (one in summer plumage), nesting Fulmar, Jackdaw and Rock Dove, passing Kittiwake, flowering Sea Bindweed and an impressive colony of 50+ Burnet Moths.
Driving back to Campbeltown produced a pair of Stonechats (rare this year), a Black Guillemot and, in the space of two minutes, a Short eared Owl, a Buzzard, a Sparrowhawk carrying prey and a pair of Hen harriers food-passing.
