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.

Plenty of birds were on Balgray Reservoir this afternoon including Tufted Ducks, Mallards, a family of Great crested Grebes (the chicks squealing to be fed) and a single Wigeon. Thirty Swallows were over fields next to the reservoir and young Linnets and Goldfinches were in the hedges. An older brood of Great crested Grebes (3-4, now almost indistinguishable from winter adults) was on Ryatt Linn Reservoir and twenty or more Starlings were chattering in a tree behind Silverburn shopping centre.
