First bird of the day was a male Whitethroat singing strongly from the "nature reserve" over the back garden fence. The species has summered most years since we arrived here (although less often in recent years), and has bred at least once.
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.
