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.

Ray Collier has written an article this week on Pine Martins moving into Inverness to feed from bird tables. The interesting question is whether they are doing this out of desperation and hunger (due to habitat degradation), out of laziness (easier than wild-caught food), out of population pressure or out of the gradual loss of fear of man.

They've recently been spotted quite regularly (not by me) in Drymen and I had just assumed that this was range expansion, but now you mention some of the other possibilities I do wonder.
