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 enjoyed some time in the sunshine in Bishopbriggs this lunchtime. My walk took in a short stretch of the canal, a longer section of the Bishopbriggs Burn and a good look around Bishopbriggs Park. Some interesting sightings consisted of Jelly Ear fungus on many of the neglected Elder bushes between the burn and the canal, a flock of at least nineteen Bullfinches feeding on grass opposite the sports centre (with a flock of eight Redwings doing the same nearby), a lone Grey Wagtail in a ditch in Bishopbriggs Park and four Rooks showing interest in the tall trees along Glenburn Gardens where they nested last year.
