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 started with a Siskin on the garden feeders. A long walk around the north east of Glasgow produced some interesting sightings including a Snipe flicking up from Frankfield Loch, a singing Tree Pipit in Drumpellier Country Park (where a presumed breeding colony of Black-headed Gulls was in full swing), a singing Stonechat on the moor between Bishop Loch and Easterhouse, a pair of Gadwall on Auchinlea Pond and singing Blackcap, Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler all round the route. Pink-footed Geese were moving north all morning with five flocks totalling around 450 birds. Twenty Meadow Pipits were on farmland just south of Gartcosh but the highlight there was a confiding Brown Hare.
