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.

Beecraigs Loch held an interesting range of waterbirds this morning including Little Grebe and Goosander as well as the usual Greylag Goose, Tufted Duck, Coot, Moorhen and Mallard. Two Ravens were near the car park with a Peregrine mobbing a Buzzard not far away. Notable birds at Linlithgow Loch consisted of a Slavonian Grebe (apparently there were two present) and a drake Pochard. No Little Grebes and only one Great Crested Grebe were surprisingly low counts. Perhaps the usual birds are still on coastal waters.
