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.

Saturday, July 07, 2018

An early morning walk produced Ringed Plovers on the beach, Cormorants and Sandwich Terns fishing a flat-calm sea, and the coastal path studded with reds, yellows, blues and purples of the wildflowers. Reds included Wild Rose and Red Campion, yellows included Sow Thistle, Ragwort, Catsear and Silverweed, the only blue came from Harebell and purples were Thistle and Burdock. Some Red Soldier Beetles were on the Ragwort inflorescences and moths included Chimney Sweep. In the afternoon, a walk out from Stranraer produced no Scarlet Pimpernel that I could find but two Swifts were over the town around 5pm.
