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.

Lots of natural connections this week - only not much time to record them. Tuesday (I think) saw a raft of Black headed Gulls floating on the sea just off Langbank. I estimated there were 500 or more. There were none just a few days before, so they must have arrived more or less together. I have never seen such a concentration there in 5 years of driving along that road.
More Fieldfares about this week (or am I just noticing them more?) A big flock (maybe 50 or more) was in a field near Barassie yesterday morning and around 10 were on the grass verge beside the main road through the Hillington Industrial Estate this afternoon. This morning saw cheeping House Sparrows and fighting Chaffinches in the "back green" at Nelson Street, plus my first Snowdrops of the year. More cheeping House Sparrows this afternoon - in Renfrew and Silver Glade.
