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.

Islay Day 1

Storm-force winds delayed this morning's ferry and made for a very bumpy trip. Unfortunately birdlife was scarce with only a few Gannets braving the winds.
Once the working day was done, headed down to the Oa. The weather again got in the way but two Choughs were feeding on the clifftops, two Stonechats were in an Iris bed and a Peregrine powered over, unperturbed by the conditions. later, two Twite were feeding on the path to the American Memorial.
The back road over to Bridgend produced 14 Greylags, a Buzzard and a Cuckoo being chased by a Meadow Pipit.
Later, a House Martin was in Ballygrant and a Grasshopper Warbler was reeling at the back of Bowmore.
