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 Raven was calling over the west end of Paisley mid-morning. At home time, a Chiffchaff was calling from the UWS car park. In between, the Black-headed Gull flock on the River Cart was holding a high percentage of first summer birds. At home in south Cardonald, a Blackcap was singing and both Chiffchaff and Bullfinch were calling unseen. Two Kingfishers were along the river (one showing well as it sped off upstream) and two Moorhens were tending a nest with newly-hatched young. The nest, near Bonnyholm Bridge, must have been at water level at some time but is now on a tree branch a metre above the river. Back home, two Swifts performed a low flypast at 9:30pm and a little later, a possible Tawny Owl called three times from the woods.
