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 had time for a longer-than-usual walk today, so took the opportunity to explore some of the quieter paths in Pollok Park. Some highlights included Nuthatches at four sites, Treecreepers and Stock Doves at two, and Great Spotted Woodpecker at one. The wildflower meadow to the north of the path towards Corkerhill held amazing numbers of Western Honey Bees, Common Carder Bees, Buff-tailed Bumblebees, assorted hoverflies and a large Four-spot Orb-weaver spider. I heard no Swifts in Shawlands for the third day running.
