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.

Most of today was spent in the Borders between Peebles and Innerleithen. Some typical birds on the Tweed through Peebles consisted of Dipper, Goosander, Grey Wagtail and Gray Heron. There were also at least four Nuthatches calling within half a kilometer of the centre of the town - and three Swallows still patrolling the skies overhead. In Innerleithen, it was two House Martins that were over the town centre (although the best sighting there was a single Tree Sparrow with House Sparrows in a Queen Street garden). Other finds today included Common Carder Bee, Common Drone Fly, Yellow Fieldcap mushroom and various plants still in flower (including Feverfew, Red Campion and Meadow Crane's-bill).
