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.

Monday, June 18, 2007

The wind and rain widely forecast for the weekend didn't materialise. Instead it was mild with sunny spells here in West central Scotland. Natural Connections over the weekend were as follows:
Friday evening: a Grasshopper Warbler singing from Erskine Harbour (and audible, as in previous years, from the car park of the Erskine Bridge Hotel).
Saturday: a pair of mice sp tidying up the crumbs after I had filled the bird feeders
Sunday: the first ever damselfly (Blue tailed) at the silver glade pond; a group of black, spikey caterpillars in a nettle patch along the cart (presumably larvae of Peacock butterfly); a fledgling Woodpigeon grounded on the lawn in Rosshall Park (and coaxed into the undergrowth, away from the local Magpies); Goldcrests singing loudly in Rosshall park (Greenfinches and Blackbirds doing the same back at the Glade); a male Blackbird collecting worms at Bonnyholm.
