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.

Today's exercise walk again covered two areas: Dumbreck/ Bellahouston Park East and the largely urban area to the north of Bellahouston park. Both squares produced 24 species with the three common warblers featuring in both. Only Feral Pigeon and Bullfinch were added to the Dumbreck square but seven species (Goldcrest, Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Chiffchaff, Swallow, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Grey Wagtail) were added to the other. Surprise of the day was probably the singing Willow Warbler and the feeding Swallow at the derelict Woodville Street Park (with a second of the latter species over industrial units nearby). The only mammal record consisted of two Rabbits on the lawn of a commercial building on Edmiston Drive.
