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 was west into the farmland bordering Glasgow Airport and produced some interesting records including three Yellowhammers on stubble, five Pied Wagtails on a flooded field, Skylarks at two sites, four Great Spotted Woodpeckers (including two drumming birds), flocks of Greylag Geese, Pink-footed Geese and Fieldfare and a good mix of ducks consisting of Mallard, Teal, Goldeneye and Goosander. Back home, a Kingfisher was fishing the river in the half light just before dusk.
