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 early morning walk from Forth Valley Royal Hospital to the Milennium Wheel produced two good records in the form of a female Sparrowhawk chasing a Woodpigeon and a Cormorant flying upriver above the River Carron. Highlights of the remainder of the day (spent exploring the Rough Castle Roman Fort and parts of the Union Canal and Antonine Wall) were a Jay, a Little Grebe, three Goldcrests and two Nuthatches (all giving good views). Also notable were my first singing Chaffinch and Greenfinch of the year.
