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.

Finished work in Leeds at lunchtime and drove home in bright sunshine. Stopped for a quick lunch at Malham Cove and enjoyed the sights and sounds of:

Peregrine - adult male perched on the rock face

Kestrel - hunting over the cove

Swift - screaming along the rockface and visiting probable nest holes

House Martin - also attending nest sites on the cliff face (although I couldn't pinpoint any)

Little Owl - single adult preening on a rock

Wheatear - male on a wall (typical Dales pose)

Green Woodpecker - brief yaffle
