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 busy day working in Shawlands meant little time for natural connections. However a walk over to the DIY store and back produced a fairly good bird list including Swallow and Willow Warbler, both new for my all-time list for that particular square "Pollokshaws NS5661. The list is now: Mallard, Goosander, Swift, Feral Pigeon, Woodpigeon, Moorhen, Black-headed Gull, Herring Gull, Lesser Black-backed Gull,, Grey Heron, Buzzard, Kingfisher, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Peregrine, Magpie, Jackdaw, Rook, Carrion Crow, Raven, Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Swallow, Long-tailed Tit, Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Goldcrest, Wren, Treecreeper, Starling, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush, Redwing, Blackbird, Robin, Dipper, House Sparrow, Dunnock, Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch and Siskin (46 species).
