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.

Busy working today so no natural connections (apart from two Dunnock, a Robin, a male Blackbird, two Magpies, a Feral Pigeon and a Woodpigeon visiting the back garden). 
Reflections on Strathspey in late March:
It's still fairly colourless, with the straw colour of dead grass and the earth-brown of heather dominating the landscape (although Birch trees coming into bud are now tinged maroon).
It's much noisier with various birds singing (including Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Coal Tit, Chaffinch, Meadow Pipit and  Greenfinches (in all the villages) particularly evident).
There is lots of evidence of wildlife spreading out from winter quarters to re-occupy farmland and other breeding areas.
