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.

Left the house in darkness this morning, with only a local Fox and a singing Robin for company, but enjoyed the sunrise on the journey over to Linlithgow. Started the visit with a walk around the loch. Viewing conditions were excellent with Cormorants, Little Grebes, Goosander and Goldeneye showing very well. Best birds on the loch were a drake Pochard at the west end and a pair of Shoveler just east of the palace. A walk inland produced a Woodcock exploding from undergrowth in Friarswell Park, then Skylark, Meadow Pipit, Linnet Yellowhammer, Redwing, Fieldfare, Kestrel and Buzzrd on farmland. Other birds showing well included Goldcrest, Moorhen and Tree Sparrow. Returned home after sunset, having spent nearly the whole day out of doors.
