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.

Our guided walk around the sights of Central Berlin this morning left little time for birdwatching. However lots of House Sparrows were chirruping around the (so-called) luxury flats that used to house East Germany's elite athletes. Hooded Crows were a constant presence and I heard a Peregrine calling while we visited what was left of the Berlin Wall. I was disappointed to find that the Linden trees along the Unter den Linden were still in their winter dormancy. In the afternoon, a very short walk through one edge of the Tiergarten produced Blue Tit, Great Tit and a calling woodpecker (possibly Great Spotted).
