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.

Chaffinches were singing near the visitor centre at Mugdoch Park when we arrived there this morning. Lots of Lords and Ladies was spring up near the path down to Craigton Dam. There were only Mallards and Tufted Ducks there but Mugdock Loch held Cormorants, Mute Swans and Goldeneyes as well. A Grey Heron was on the "frogspawn pond" and sure enough, there was plenty of frogspawn there but no sign of any frogs. Birds encountered on the way back included Great Spotted Woodpecker and Nuthatch. Later, eight Moorhens were on the stretch of the canal just west of Clydebank Shopping Centre and flowering plants nearby consisted of Marsh Marigold, Red-flowering Currant and Greater Periwinkle.
