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.

Today started with a Robin singing from a wire over Tweedsmuir Road and an exceptional 7 Collared Doves roosting together on a lamp post nearby.
The afternoon was spent in Mugdock Country Park. Highlights there were 4 Redwings (my first of the winter) and 5 Swallows (possibly my last of the summer), a mixed flock of Redpolls and Goldfinches (at one point mobbing a passing Kestrel) and a juvenile Grey Heron taking bread with the Mallards at Craigend Pond.
