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.

A misty, moisty dawn in Glasgow turned into a lovely sunny morning in Greenock. Heading back to Howwood at lunchtime, two Carrion Crows were feeding on a dead Hedgehog at How Barnaigh.
Spent the afternoon in Ayr but in too much of a hurry to see much. However while nearly home and waiting at the traffic lights at the top of Sandwood Road, a male Sparrowhawk flapped-and-soared over, just above tenement height.
Another recent hawk sighting just got a little more interesting. The "long-tailed, Buzzard-sized raptor" I saw near Linburn Plantation [NS4569] on Friday evening was only a couple of miles away from two Goshawks reported on Sunday from Netherton Farm [NS4967] (clydebirds).
