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.

Spent most of the daylight hours today walking the coastline and farmland between Crail and Kingsbarn. Highlights of the day consisted of:
Eight Skylarks over a stubble field north of Crail
Thirty Greenfinches in a flock at Balcomie Farm
A good selection of waders along the shore between Balcomie and Kingsbarns including Oystercatcher, Curlew, Redshank, Golden Plover, Ringed Plover and Sanderling
Two flocks of at least 20 Twite feeding on the strand line
A Raven, five Canada Geese and three Gannets over the sea
A Wheatear on rocks at the north end of Balcomie Golf Course
Seven Roe Deer feeding together in a field at Wormiston Farm
A Kestrel hunting near the abandoned barracks at Kirklands
Six Grey Partridges right in the middle of a grass field near the Go-Kart Track
200 Starlings flocking before going to roost
Last birds of the day were at least 100 Pink-footed Geese in a field north of Elie.
