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.

I planned to walk from Gourock to Wemyss Bay today, not guessing that the weather would be just so perfect. There was hardly a ripple on the Clyde (allowing me to pick out four Harbour Porpoises and a Grey Seal)  and a great feeling of summer being just around the corner. Three Swifts were in Gourock and I also found nesting Swallow, House Martin, Grey Wagtail and Linnet as well as fledged broods of Pied Wagtail, House Sparrow and Starling. A Cuckoo sang during the upland section of the walk while coastal birds included Gannet, Red-breasted Merganser and Sandwich Tern. A dead Hedgehog was a sad find.
