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.

Today I walked between the Motherwell to Hamilton road where it crosses the Clyde and Windmillhill Street in Motherwell, including the Clyde Walkway to Easterbraes and circuits of both Dalzell Estate and Baron's Haugh RSPB reserve (taking just under three hours). Most notable sightings were the four summer-plumaged Black-tailed Godwits on the haugh and a singing Treecreeper along the Clyde. However the numbers of singing warblers were also interesting as follows: Blackcap - 23; Chiffchaff - 13; Willow Warbler - 12; Whitethroat - 5; Garden Warbler - 3 and Sedge Warbler - 2. Singing Stock Doves were also widespread with a total of ten counted.
