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.

Drove to East Kilbride this afternoon. The hedgerows (or at least what is left of them, now that the M77 extension is finished) were alive with creamy Meadowsweet and purple Foxgloves. Thought I saw some orchids on the verge of the roundabout south of Newton Mearns. Must check next time I'm out that way.

Spent part of the afternoon on Troon beach, enjoying glorious summer sunshine and a flat calm sea (see picture). Enjoyed the sight of a Grey Seal floating lazily 100 metres offshore. Rockpools full of tiny fish and shrimps. Sea water crystal clear. Birds in the area included 5 Swifts, 2 House Martins, a few Swallows and House Sparrows, a Heron, 2 Redshanks, an Eider, plenty of Starlings, a few Jackdaws and lots of Herring and Lesser black backed Gulls.
