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 frosty morning around the mouth of the River Leven produced some good sightings including seven Little Grebes, lots of Goldeneye and Goosander plus singing Blue Tit, Great Tit and Coal Tit. Snowdrops were flowering in the woods. The full bird list for the morning was: Mute Swan, Muscovy Duck, Mallard, Domestic Mallard, Tufted Duck, Goldeneye, Goosander, Cormorant, Grey Heron, Little Grebe, Buzzard, Moorhen, Black-headed Gull, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Magpie, Jackdaw, Carrion Crow, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Blackbird, Robin, Dunnock, House Sparrow, Chaffinch and Goldfinch (32 species).
A Crested Tit on the Abernethy feeder this evening was briefly joined by a second. The first bird arrived when the feeder was empty, but succeeded in holding off a Coal Tit for a few minutes.
