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.

Another day working in Paisley meant another interesting lunchtime walk along the Cart. Wildfowl numbers continue to build up along the stretch between the Cross and the Hammils with 78 Mallards, 11 Tufted Ducks, 6 Goosanders, 4 Moorhens, 2 Coots, 2 Mute Swans and a Pintail all present. The Otter was feeding actively in shallow water between the Bridge Street and Mill Street bridges while a Grey Heron watched on and a Kingfisher flew over. Also notable was a Redshank which called, then flicked along the river, alighting on the parapet of the High Street bridge. The Redshank was a new bird for me for the square, as were Common Gull and Redwing, bringing the square total to 37.
