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.

Ardmore Point was full of birds today with over 100 Shelduck and 60+ Wigeon in North Bay, at least two Great-crested Grebes and three Slavonian Grebes offshore, Canada Geese, Oystercatchers and Lawings flocking on grazed fields, Greenfinches, Chaffinches and other songbirds feeding in low vegetation and three Mute Swans flying out into the Clyde. Also notable were quite a lot of spume deposited on the tide-line, a pellet wedged in a fence post (presumably a raptor/owl perch) and flowering Red Campion, Scentless Mayweed and Bindweed. A hunting Kestrel was also a nice find. Heading home, a Buzzard and twenty mixed winter thrushes were at Arkleston Farm.
