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.

A wet weekend here, and in Edinburgh. Sightings as follows:
Friday - 3 Buzzards soaring over Bishopton on-ramp. Female House Sparrow still feeding 2 young with nibbled peanuts.
Saturday - Fields full of Poppies near end of bypass. Later, at Esk mouth... 2 fledgling Grey Wagtails and 4 fledgling Pied Wagtails begging parents for food. Also House Martins, Swifts and possibly other hirundines hawking over the Esk.
Sunday - 5 Great Tits together at the feeders (possibly an adult and 4 young). At least 1 miniature Common Frog in the pond (plus the first sighting for a few days of all three of the minnows put in a few weeks ago).
