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 was another 30,000 step day due to a long walk along the Rob Roy Way between Pitlochry and Aberfeldy. First notable birds of the day were Canada Goose and Nuthatch near Pitlochry Theatre. The walk up through Forest produced a couple of Common Crossbills, a large dragonfly, an interesting stone circle and a good selection of butterflies including Ringlet, Scotch Argus and Spotted Wood. The grassland south of there had Common Frogs, a Common Lizard and Peacock, Meadow Brown and probable Dark Green Fritillary and Large White butterflies. The walk along the river from Grandtully produced Monkswood, Dipper, Grey Wagtail and Spotted Flycatcher. The day began and ended with Swifts: eighteen over first thing and twelve over in the evening.
