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.

Heading into Ikea at breakfast-time, a Song Thrush nearby was in full song.
In the afternoon, took another look at one of the Glasgow tetrads, NS56F (Pollok Roundabout). It is a fairly uninspiring area, as the photos below show. However plenty of birds were about. Two singing Song Thrushes, a surprising two Grey Herons, a Kingfisher and 20 Redwings were along the Levern Water, three Greenfinches were in the top of a tree behind the Police Station and a Pied Wagtail was singing from the roof of Silverburn Shopping Centre. The Song Thrushes, Kingfisher and Greenfinches were all new records for the tetrad, bringing the total to 36. Try as I might, I wasn't able to add Wren.
