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 rainy walk along the river from Cardonald to Paisley produced some interesting sightings including a Rabbit in Rosshall Park (I rarely see them, although I know they are resident there), a Great Spotted Woodpecker over Crookston Road, a Raven over Bull Wood and a Sparrowhawk flushing the Jackdaws and Feral Pigeons over Forbes Place. The full list was: Mute Swan, Mallard, Goosander, Sparrowhawk, Moorhen, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Raven, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Coal Tit, Long-tailed Tit, Wren, Starling, Blackbird, Fieldfare, Song Thrush, Redwing, Robin, Dunnock, House Sparrow, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Goldfinch and Siskin (32 species).
