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.

An errand to run in Rosyth gave me a good excuse to drop in on Portmoak Moss near Loch Leven.  At least two Green Woodpeckers were active in the woods surrounding the moss with plenty of yaffling and one bird giving brief views. The walk down to the loch shore produced singing Skylark, mating Goldeneye (the reserve staff have been providing nestboxes for them) and literally hundreds of Tufted Ducks. Back at the moss, the songs of Siskin and Treecreeper were slightly out of the ordinary for me.
