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.

Five minutes down at Springfield Quay, Glasgow, revealed two Lesser Black backed Gulls, 10 Black headed Gulls (with lovely, chocolate-brown hoods) and a fishing Cormorant. Walking along the Cart (late afternoon) from Leverndale to Hawkhead turned up three Roe Deer (on the open space south of the "Tower"), plenty of singing Robin, Wren, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Blue Tit and Great Tit, several Blackbirds going to roost, a Great spotted Woodpecker (heard but not seen), a pair of Goosander and a pair and a half of Mallard, a Kingfisher (calling noisily from the park river bend before flying off upstream) and around 50 (?Herring) gulls gathering on the field behind the cemetery (the first time I've seen them there), but no Chiffchaffs or Willow Warblers as yet.
