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 today being our last day in Orkney, natural connections were slightly lower down on the agenda. Nevertheless a Short-eared Owl was nice to see as it hunted beside the road to Dingyshowe Beach. The beach itself had a few interesting passerines (Rock Pipit, Pied Wagtail and Linnet) and a Ringed Plover which was possibly nesting in a quieter area. A fairly thorough beach clean produced only a single dead Guillemot (which I thought was encouraging) and a few long since predated gull and tern wings. Also notable were the numerous cuttlefish bones (or parts thereof) scattered about.
