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 busy day meant very little time for natural connnections. However a circuit of Hogganfield Loch found quite a good count of 17 Pochards (eleven males and six females), a species I seldom see these days. Other notable sightings included a Brown Rat near the duck feeding area, four Gadwall, a female Tufted Duck with four half-grown young and a Coot with a tiny chick.
