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.

An early start found only a few dog walkers at Esk Mouth. Birds were still quite skitish but a Black tailed Godwit and three Bar tails [158] stayed close enough to allow good comparison. Over 200 Mute Swans were feeding out in the estuary, with Mallard, Goosander and Wigeon on the river itself. Ringed Plovers, Dunlin and Turnstone were along the seawall while six Velvet Scoters [159] and a single Great crested Grebe were offshore. Back on dry land (well nearly), a Black Swan [160] and two Little Grebes were on the boating pond.
A quick run round to Ferny Ness in search of Red necked Grebes was unsuccessful with only a few Mallards showing on a very rough sea. However there was a good flock of Bar tailed Godwits on the sand.
