Starling Birds On Spring Tuesday Visit To My Cottage Garden Scone Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland short 4K Spring Tuesday wildlife nature camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of noisy purple and green Starling birds spotted eating on morning visit and trip to my Scottish cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. The Starling is a familiar bird that breeds in farmland, suburban areas and open woodlands. Seen from a distance, starlings look black with a short tail and pointed yellow bill, but when seen close-to, they are very glossy with a metallic sheen of purples and greens. Starlings forage in lawns, fields, and other open areas with short vegetation. They are primarily insectivores in their natural habitat, but will feed on a wide variety of items outside of their natural diet, including fruits and seeds. The starling can be found throughout lowland Scotland where there is cultivation and pasture. It is generally absent in highlands and in areas dominated by grass or heather moorland. Highest densities are found along the East coast, Central lowlands and Dumfries and Galloway. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing. The date for astronomical spring is Sunday 20th March, ending on Tuesday 21st June, while by the meteorological calendar, spring will start on Tuesday 1st March @tourscotland #scotland #shortsvideo #spring #birds #nature #birdsong All photographs are copyright of Sandy Stevenson, Tour Scotland, and may not be used without permission.

Scotsman Walking By Loch Ewe On History Visit To North West Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland very short 4K travel video clip of a Scotsman wearing a kilt and walking by Loch Ewe on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to North west Highlands, Britain, United Kingdom. Scottish Gaelic: Loch Iùbh, it is a sea loch. Due to the rugged and inaccessible terrain in which it is located, Loch Ewe has always been an assembly point for maritime trade. Loch Ewe was a temporary base of the Home Fleet during the Second World War. It was also used as an assembly point for the Arctic Convoys during the war. Ships from the British, American and other ports gathered here before sailing to Murmansk from September 1942 following the disaster of Convoy PQ 17 in order to confuse German intelligence. At the German surrender in April 1945 Loch Ewe became the British marshalling point for many of the German U-boats that had surrendered while at sea.
