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 day spent in Stranraer allowed a quick run downy to a very blustery Mull of Galloway. Noticed huge differences since I was last there with more facilities and lots more people. The breeding season for most species was largely over with only Kittiwakes, Shags and guillemots hanging around the cliffs. A pair of Kestrels hunted the headland and both Raven and Great Black-backed Gull patrolled the cliffs. Offshore, Gannets passed regularly and four Manx Shearwaters "sheared" past. A Wheatear was present as were a couple each of Swallow and Meadow pipit.
Back at Stranraer, a Black Guillemot was in the harbour and, heading up the coast, a stonechat flew over the road near the Whilk.
