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.

My heart's in the Highlands - and this evening, the rest of me is here too. Managing to squeeze in a short trip to Strathspey before going back to work on Monday. Drove to Aviemore this afternoon, the highlight of the trip being an Osprey soaring over the motorway near Bannockburn. Drove straight to the ski car park, but the only birds on show were a few Meadow Pipits and Pied Wagtails. Then, had a wander around the Dell of Rothiemurchus (highlights being two Buzzards, a Great spotted Woodpecker and a Long tailed Tit), before settling into Rothiemurchus campsite. Sitting under the stars right now. .
