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.

Started today with a visit to Luckenburn where at least 127 Bean Geese were in the field opposite the farm entrance. Also there were a single Buzzard and a flock of Chaffinches.
Next port of call was RSPB Loch Leven where a party of five Whooper Swans were with the Mute Swans in front of the hides. Several hundred Pochard were along the south shore of the loch (together with a single Goldeneye) and twenty Pintail were in one of the bays on the east side. Several hundred Pink footed Geese were active in the far north east corner.
Late afternoon, a Kestrel and a Buzzard were active over Kinneil Kerse. Birds offshore included several Great crested Grebes and a juvenile Gannet. Heading back to Grangemouth, 55 Golden Plover were among 350 Lapwing and 200 to 300 Pink footed Geese flew over west.
