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.

Three House Martins were visiting the usual houses in Cardonald frst thing.
A quick walk round the Murdieston dams at lunchtime revealed that the second Mute Swan pair (on Town Dam) have hatched 5 cygnets (the pair on the main dam still have 6). The Tufted Ducks seem to have failed, however, with several birds loafing around. The drake Mallards are starting to enter eclipse. Lots of smaller bird activity around, with a Bullfinch and a Treecreeper in the cemetery and breeding evidence gathered for House Sparrow and Jackdaw. There were some gull chicks on the roof of a building to the north of the cemetery, but frustratingly adults of both Herring Gull and Lesser black backed Gull were present so I couldn't be sure which species had bred.
