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.

Another gorgeous spring day today (although the last few frosty nights have brought some welcome wintry weather further north). Down here, the tops of the Renfrewshire hills were covered in overnight snow. Also, all the mountains from Ben Lomond round to Glen Eck remain completely white.
Noticed a Buzzard in the first Finaystone meadow, and another swooping over the road at Hunter's Quay. Also, a hovering Kestrel right over the Troon bypass. Tide was well in when I drove down the coast (from Greenock to Ayr), with flocks of Lapwing plus odd Curlew and Oystercatcher forced onto roadside fields.
Spring-like weather has prompted Mistle Thrushes to breed at a site in central Glasgow, with a ten day old chick reported on the Lothian Birding line today.
