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.

Different route today, this time to Irvine via Gleniffer Braes. Fantastic patches of Bistort in full flower on either side of the Irvine road across the braes, just before the sharp left-hand bend. Really stunning pink flower heads on long stems. Must go back tomorrow with my camera!
Saw a Buzzard being mobbed by a couple of crows just before Irvine. Roadsides around here are covered with Red Campion. Once in Irvine, could hardly concentrate on work for the sound of Chiffchaff song from outside.
Walk around Pollock Park, Glasgow, in the evening. Lots of Jackdaws and Swallows around. Also a few Swifts. Lots of interesting wall plants, most, I guess, escapes. Will have to wait until they flower to get a positive I.D.
