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 quick lunchtime walk around Murdieston Dam revealed a very unusual visitor in the form of a Whooper Swan which was coming to bread with two male Mutes. The resident pair of Mutes (and their 4 juveniles) are on the smaller dam at present. I don't imagine they will be too happy when they discover they have company.

Heading for a meeting in Airdrie today, I slightly overshot and ended up on a country road heading for Airdriehill. A solitary male Kestrel was perched on roadside wires. Later, in the centre of Airdrie, around 30 Starlings were swirling round a church steeple.
Elsewhere, the first pinkfeet of the winter have appeared at Hule Moss, Borders and Glencaple, D&G. Also, Lapland Buntings have reached Fife.
