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.

A long walk taking in Ruthven, Bienn Bhuidhe, Glen Tromie, Gaik and Loch an t-Seilich produced a number of interesting sightings including: a singing Skylark at one site, singing Chiffchaffs at two (but surprisingly no Willow Warblers), a pair of Stonechats at one site and a single male at another, Redpolls singing at three sites, a pair of Red-legged Partridges and a mobile flock of four Ring Ouzels (three males and a female). Lots of the commoner species, but surprisingly no Wheatears.
