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 Dipper on the river was a very unusual visitor. I have recorded it only four times in my home 1km square in the past ten years, even though I have had many sightings both up and down river of here. The bird flew along the river, calling, a couple of times and stopped to sing briefly. Also notable (although not nearly so rare) was a single Goosander.
