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 rainy afternoon didn't deter 5 Swallows over Hawkhead Woodland and another 20 over Mulben Crescent, Crookston. At 10pm, a Red Fox scampered into the glade ahead of the car.
News from the web is that (presumably) the same Black Swan which appeared on the 2nd at West Ferry was seen across the Clyde at Cardross Bay on 4th. Other news:
One of the satellite-tracked Ospreys which wandered off course was found dead on the Outer Hebrides today. Although some adults are still feeding young in the nest, others are at various points south, many being delayed by the wet weather. The satellite-tracked Honey Buzzard is now passing through central Scotland (over Airdrie today).
25 Brent Geese flew past Barns Ness, Lothian today.

The first Twite of the autumn have appeared on the Ayrshire coast and various passerines (incl. Pied and Spotted Flys) are filtering through the glen north of the Mull of Galloway.
