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 House Martins were still in Cardonald this evening. Another two were beside the Clyde at Govan with two Swallows also there. A Common Sandpiper was a surprise on a rock in one of the abandoned ship docks. Also, a Sparrowhawk with prey drifted just a few feet above my head at the tiny park next to the Govan "plazza". The "prey" was a finch or tit which it was carrying head-first like an Osprey carrying a fish.
