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 noisy Song Thrush singing very close to the house, apparently undaunted by quite a sharp frost. On route to Greenock, a possible Peregrine swooped over the motorway north of Bishopton (very close to where I saw one once before). The drive home saw a number of Teal along the Bishopton stretch of the Clyde and a Common Buzzard perched on a roadside fence at North Commonside. Tea-time saw both male and female Chaffinch visiting the garden feeders. Later, a walk along the Cart turned up a pair of Goosanders along the Moulin stretch, a pair of Grey Wagtails at the Rosshall bend, a Moorhen at Rosshall Park pond and Grey Herons there and back on the river. The leucistic female Mallard and her normal mate seem to be prospecting for nest sites at Moulin.
