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.

Today started with a quick run up to check out the farm pond north of Duthil. Four each of Teal and Wigeon were present, possibly a female and three juveniles of each. After that I headed to Rothiemurchus churchyard where a day-flying bat and a family of Kestrels were the highlights. The Osprey nest opposite the Swan chapel was empty except for a single bird which brought in a fish,waited a while, then flew off with it. Loch Insh at the underpass held a pair of Mute Swans with five cygnets. Finally, Dunkeld had its usual Fallow Deer along with several of this year's calves, and plenty of juvenile Common Gulls which presumably fledged from the colony (now deserted) on shingle just east of the bridge over the Tay.
