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.

High pressure over west central Scotland today meant blue skies and next to no wind. Thought I would try for the Carron Valley Great Grey Shrike so headed there immediately after work. Unfortunately the best of the day was already over but still managed a walk half way along the south shore of the reservoir. Commonest birds were Crossbill (22+ including some singing males) and Siskin (including a flock of 40 birds). Unfortunately the shrike failed to show. However a Great spotted Woodpecker was at the picnic site and as dusk approached, a Grey Heron and 13 Greylag Geese flew in and a Raven was cronking in the distance.
