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.

My weekly walk in Pollokshaws was moved to Wednesday this week. A single drake Goosander was at his usual place near the confluence of the White Cart and the Auldhouse Burn. Later, two Oystercatchers were prospecting for a nest site among the buildings between Kilmarnock Road and Pollokshaws Road.

I decided to take a break from working on the house and instead spent most of the day checking for some of the rarities that had been present around the area in recent weeks. The Black-necked Grebe at Ardmore Point, the Smew on Broadwood Loch and the Red-necked Grebe on Hogganfied Loch were the main targets and were all duly found. However some other highlights included displaying Ravens at Ardmore, displaying Smew and two singing Willow Warblers at Broadwood and displaying Great Crested Grebes and two Whooper Swans at Hogganfield.
