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 busy day of atlassing in south Glasgow - and trying to shrug off a horrible cold.
Highlight of the day was the sighting of a pair of Stock Doves inspecting tree holes in King's Park. 
Altogether four tetrads were checked, with the following results:
NS56V (King's Park / Cathcart): Added two species (Stock Dove and Pied Wagtail). Tetrad total is now 38(34).
NS56D (Renfrew): Added four species (Lesser black-backed Gull, Pied Wagtail, Rook and Carrion Crow). Tetrad total is now 45(29).
NS56K (Pollok Park south): No new species added. Tetrad total is 50(31).
NS56S (Plantation Park). No new species added. Tetrad total is 51(34). 
Stopped off to have a look at the "Pollok Beech" (below). It is looking a little worse for wear with one large bough obviously having fallen off over the winter.
