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.

Heading out of the back of Anstruther first thing was like going back in time.The first bird heard was a singing Corn Bunting (the first of two within 200 metres) and other birds in the area included singing Linnet, Yellowhammer, Whitethroat and Skylark, and breeding House Sparrow, Starling and Swallow. Grey Partridge failed to show on this occasion.
The day's walk along the Fife Coastal Path produced  more of all the above species as well as Eider (several females with tiny young - see photo below), Razorbill, Fulmar, Reed Bunting, Sedge Warbler, Swift and both Pied Wagtail and Rock Pipit carrying food.
The other photos below are of the Isle of May, Cellardyke and Anstruther (including a local delicacy).
