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.

Walked along the Cart from Silver Glade to Hawkhead. Interesting sightings along the way included: singing Song Thrushes on top of riverside trees, 6 Mallards under the first bridge, newly emerged Snowdrops (below) in Rosshall Park, a flock of 6 or 7 Woodpigeons on the lawn there, a Buzzard being mobbed by Carion Crows at Leverendale (with another just before the gate to Hawkhead Estate Park), newly-emerged leaves of Lesser Celandine, up to 10 House Sparrows "chirrupping" noisily in the Bens Estate, a Pied Wagtail and 6 Jackdaws at St Andrew's Academy and at least one more House Sparrow at the railway bridge just before the glade.
