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.

A morning walk around Carphin House found a female Mallard with eleven ducklings, a juvenile Little Grebe, singing Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Blackcap and a singing Stock Dove. In the afternoon, a trip to St Andrews revealed Seaside Daisy and Pellitory-of-the-Wall both extremely well-established in the harbour area. Birds were disappointing but included Fulmar, Sand Martin and House Martin. A Grey Heron on the Kinness Burn had drowned a Rabbit but seemed unsure what to do with it.
