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.

It was a relatively calm and clear day in Ayrshire when we passed through there today. A short walk around the harbour area of Troon provided good views of Oystercatchers, Redshanks and Bar-tailed Godwits on North Beach. Rabbits were grazing along the coastal strip and hiding among the boulders lining the beach. Sea Buckthorn bushes were still bearing some of last year's berries (shrivelled). An old wall had Rustyback (less than I remember), Wall Rue and Maidenhair Spleenwort growing on it.
