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 carried out a survey of the "Crossmyloof and Maxwell Park Pond" monad this afternoon. Two juvenile Tufted Ducks (smaller than the Queen's Park birds) were on the pond but there was no sign of any adults. I wonder if the same thing has happened as I suspected for Queen's Park - that the adults have left the site ahead of the (presumably still flightless) juveniles. I'd be interested to know if the adults return to the site at any point (possibly at night) or if they have completely deserted the young birds.
