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.

A walk along the Union Canal from Wester Hailes to Fountainbridge produced some interesting records including three singing Chiffchaffs (but no Willow Warblers), several Mallards with young (some possible second broods), a pair of Mute Swans with seven cygnets, a Bee-mimicking Hoverfly sp. on a canal-side umbellifer and a Swift visiting a hole in a tenement in Polwarth.
