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.

With the daylength at its longest, I decided to start the day by watching the sunrise from Loudoun Hill near Darvel in East Ayrshire. I was treated to a perfect orange sun rising over the mist-covered landscape. Birds on the walk up to the summit included Blackcap, Willow Warler, Linnet, Meadow Pipit, Chaffinch, Wren and Song Thrush. Birds heard at the summit consisted of Curlew, Pheasant and more Meadow Pipits. The walk back down added Raven (4), Oystercatcher, Nuthatch, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail and a male Redstart singing strongly from a row of Beech trees.
