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 moved out of Glasgow today to do some walking in the Eaglesham Hills. Birds were fairly thin on the ground (only nineteen species in total) but included confirmed breeding records for Canada Goose, Common Gull and Pied Wagtail. Other notable, potential breeders consisted of Grasshopper Warbler, Raven, Oystercatcher and Common Sandpiper. One that got away was Twite with two tiny passerines glimpsed on a telephone wire but which flew off before I could get binoculars onto them.
