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.

Working in the west end of Glasgow today, but missed the bulk of what seemed to be a lovely day. Managed a quick walk along the Kelvin on the way to the bus home. A Grey Wagtail was flying upriver opposite the old transport museum while a pair of Goosanders and a Grey Heron were fishing next to the Benalder Street bridge.

Osprey news is as follows:
Loch Garten - first bird back this afternoon
Loch of the Lowes - no sign yet
Aberfoyle - no news yet, but single birds seen near Stirling and over Loch Lomond (both today),
Tweed Valley - no news, but a bird was at Glencourse Reservoir earlier this week
Rutland - first bird returned on 20th March
Wales - a pair were on the Glaslyn nest on 21st
Northumbria, Cumbria - no news yet
(most of this news from the RSPB Community Pages which are buzzing right now).
