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.

An afternoon walk from Balgray Reservoir via Pollock Park threw up a number of interesting sightings including singing Grasshopper Warblers (127) beside Ryatt Linn Reservoir and near Darnley Mill Pond, nine Great crested Grebes (including two on nests) at Waulkmill Glen Reservoir and a Hoodie hybrid in Pollock Park. Once again, warblers seemed to be everywhere (for instance, a 100m stretch of the Cart opposite Cardonald Cat and Dog Home had two Whitethroats, a Willow Warbler, a Chiffchaff and a Blackcap all in song, while a small clearing near Darnley Mill Pond had three Whitethroats (one song-flighting), two Willow Warblers, a Chiffchaff and a Blackcap ). Sedge Warblers were also very evident (23,169).
