The single Moorhen chick on Rosshall Park Pond is well-grown but was still begging a parent for food when I visited this afternoon. An older juvenile, presumably from an earlier brood, was on the river nearby.
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.
