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.

Checking the garden first thing, found a Blue Tit entering the nest box with a beakful of insects. Managed to set off half an hour earlier for work so that I could spend some time checking the mudflats at West Ferry. First birds seen were a couple of Curlews. However soon found at least 4 Whimbrels feeding among the rocks out on the mud. Other birds included Oystercatchers, Redshank, Shelduck, Mallard plus various gulls and terns.
This afternoon, had to pop over to the West End to deliver some papers. Passing Bellahouston Park, there were lots of common birds collecting food for their young, including a Song Thrush and a flock of 15 Starlings . On the way back, 3 Swallows were in an aerial dogfight over the playing fields in the South-East corner.
