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 went for a walk through Waulkmill Glen today, seeking out the patch of Winter Aconite I found a few years ago. Sure enough, it was there again this year, in spite of a large amount of fallen branches scattered over the site. The area covered seems relatively unchanged from last year, with about half of the shoots already in flower. As usual, there were lots of Scarlet Elf Cups on the woodland floor nearby.  Interesting birds encountered included Great Spotted Woodpecker, Jay and Raven.
