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.

Two clumps of frogspawn were in the silverglade pond this morning. This is the latest first laying date since I created the pond in summer 2006. First dates over the last nine years have been:

21st March 2015
8th March 2014
3rd March 2013
22nd February 2012
9th March 2011
19th March 2010
6th March 2009
2nd March 2008
18th March 2007

Managed to squeeze in a walk around Mugdock Park this afternoon. Best birds were a displaying Buzzard and two Meadow Pipits on Peitches Moor, a good total of eleven Goldeneye on Mugdock Loch and a Treecreeper near the castle.
