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.

Highlights from a long but bracing walk from Kirkintilloch to Milngavie (via Milton of Campsie, Lennoxtown, Strathblane and Mugdock Park) were:
Dippers just north of Kirkintilloch, in the centre of Milton of Campsie, to the east and centre of Strathblane and in the centre of Milngavie.
Butterbur in full flower.
Active Rookeries at various sites.
A nice flooded meadow at Clachan of Campsie with Mallards, 3 Herons and a pair of Oystercatchers.
Greylag Geese at various sites.
Large flocks of Common Gulls and Woodpigeons feeding in fields.
Two pairs of Jackdaws squabbling over a tree nest hole.
Four Canada Geese on Craigend Pond, Mugdock Park [32,800].
