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.

Spent the weekend at Auchenfoyle Camp in the Renfrewshire Hills. Saturday was stormy and cold but today was calmer (although still cool). Natural connections were limited because of other commitments and almost continuous heavy rain. However enjoyed seeing several skiens of grey geese flying west over the camp, a few "Tsee-eep"-ing Redwings overhead, a probable Sparrowhak patrolling a shelter belt, a possible Hen Harrier over adjacent moorland and a definite Common Buzzard doing some "sky dancing". Other birds around included Carrion Crows, Rooks and Jackdaws (but no Ravens) plus single Chaffinch, Starling and (possible) Pied Wagtail. On the way back through Bridge of Weir, saw 100 or so Starlings in close aerial formation.
