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.

Today started well with a Kestrel hovering over fields beside Arkleston Farm Road at 7 30 am. Much more settled weather has now arrived, making driving a lot more pleasurable. On the way back from Greenock (around midday) saw 8 swans flying west over the motorway following the Black Cart. Couldn't make out the species but guess they might have been Whoopers (my first of the winter?). On the way back from Hamilton, stopped in traffic and noticed a good growth of Black Medick in the central reserve under the M77 flyover at Darnley. I hadn't noticed it before but knew what it was straightaway by its tiny black fruits. First signs of autumn colours in trees.
