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.

Six Whooper Swans were at Wester Walkinshaw Farm first thing with a Buzzard at the Bishopton bend of the M8 and another at Finlaystone Estate.
A walk through the west end of Greenock this lunchtime produced an unusual sight in the form of two Mute Swans flying west. Singing birds included Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Chaffinch, Great Tit, Blue Tit, Coal Tit, Robin, Starling and Woodpigeon. Ten Redpolls were buzzing in trees above the Golf Clubhouse. 
Town Dam held a nice adult Mediterranean Gull on the point of moulting into summer plumage and a Cormorant. The main dam held three Goldeneye, two Little Grebes and a Great Black-backed Gull. Two Rooks were back at their micro-colony.
