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.

Forty Whooper Swans were beside the M8 on the way to Erskine this morning. Later, a walk along the Cart produced a Moorhen (not that common locally), a Grey Wagtail and a Kingfisher within 5 minutes of leaving the house. Also notable were Snowdrop shoots peeping through where the floodwaters have scarified the river bank.
Clydebirds is reporting that two Green Sandpipers were seen in flooded fields beside the Hurlet yesterday. The list of birds seen in "my" area (Hawkhead / Crookston / Ralston / Arkleston and the Cart Corridor as far as Pollock Park) that I haven't yet recorded is getting quite long:

Jay in Hurlethill Wood
Golden Plover at Arkleston Farm
Green Sandpiper beside the Hurlet
And a Shelduck reported to the bird atlas.
Must try harder!
