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.

Monday, April 05, 2010

Heavy rain first thing rather spoiled the beginning of a walk from Barrhead to Cardonald via the Dams. However as the weather improved the birds started to show. Balgray reservoir had 85 or more Sand Martins and a single Swallow was among them (my first of 2010). Also unusual there was a silvery-grey Jackdaw with 20 normal birds. The other reservoirs had small numbers of both Swallow and Sand Martin. Also notable were good numbers of Great crested Grebe and Cormorant, and a few left-over Goldeneye.
Walking targets this week:
Monday - 8,000 (21,364)
Tuesday - 8,000 (8,014)
Wednesday - 8,000 (10,983)
Thursday - 8,000 (2,697)
Friday - 8,000 (15,305)
Saturday - 15,000 (23,186)
Sunday - 15,000 (15,265)
Total - 70,000 (96,814)
