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 quiet weekend for natural connections. Saturday afternoon was spent in Rouken Glen park. Very little of interest on the pond there with very low numbers of wildfowl present (4 Mute Swans, c10 Tufted Ducks, c25 Mallards and 2 or 3 Coots). Around 100 Black headed Gulls made up the rest of the cast.
This afternoon, managed a walk along the river via Rosshall Park. The pair of Moorhens on the pond there have one large juvenile. A Cormorant was fishing the river at the Rosshall bend. Also noticed what appears to be a good crop of Elder, Hawthorn and Wild Rose berries.
News from the web is that Pink footed Geese are well in and Brent Geese starting to arrive in dribs and drabs. The next few weeks should see the first arrivals of Whooper Swan and winter thrushes.
