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.

First birds of today's Big Clyde Bird Day were Black Grouse and Cuckoo on a moor north of Glasgow. A long walk up the west side of Loch Lomond produced many common woodland birds (Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Gardn Warbler, Chaffinch, Lesser Redpoll, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Robin and Wren) but none of the Oak woodland specialists (Redstart, Tree Pipit, Wood Warbler, Pied Flycatcher) found on the east side. The shores of the loch held Common Sandpiper, Greylag and Canada Goose, Red-breasted Merganser, Goosander, Mallard, Grey Wagtail and Osprey. One of the lagoons held an Otter.The main target bird, Mandarin, was not located. However a trip to Jamestown found six males (including one in eclipse) lurking in their regular slot. Lang Craigs held calling Green Woodpecker and Cuckoo.
