Up to two Little Egrets and a Grey Heron were fishing in the River Sark when I walked along the merse below Gretna today. Other interesting finds included Kestrel, Linnet, Spiny Restharrow and Parsley Water-droplet.
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.
