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.

An early walk around the Balgray reservoirs produced some interesting sightings including three Pochard (my first of the year), a Snipe (flushed from the edge of Balgray Reservoir), a pair of Dippers chasing and calling loudly and a rather lost-looking immature Long-tailed Duck. The full bird list for the walk was: Mute Swan, Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Wigeon, Teal, Mallard, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Long-tailed Duck, Goldeneye, Goosander, Cormorant, Little Grebe, Great Crested Grebe, Buzzard, Moorhen, Snipe, Common Gull, Herring Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, Woodpigeon, Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Raven, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Wren, Dipper, Fieldfare, Redwing, Robin, Dunnock, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Chaffinch, Linnet, Lesser Redpoll and Reed Bunting (40 species).
