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.

Today's expedition was to Ardmore Point which, first thing, was almost completely deserted. Some interesting land birds encountered included at least eighteen Meadow Pipts (presumably passage birds), two singing Chiffchaffs plus Linnet, Rock Pipit, Stock Dove, Pied Wagtail, Buzzard and a Jay. Coastal birds included Canada Goose, Shelduck, Red-breasted Merganser, Goldeneye, Wigeon, Teal, Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Shag and lots of Common Gulls plus seven Slavonian Grebes and three Red-throated Divers. Plants in flower included Daffodil, Dandelion, Coltsfoot, Crocus, Snowdrops, Lesser Celandine, Gorse and Green Alkanet.
