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.

Hogganfield Loch was largely deserted due to heavy rain today. However plenty of birds were on show including five breeding-plumaged Gadwall and a single drake Goldeneye. Most unexpected, however, was a single Shelduck. I have never recorded one here before. CORRECTION: I checked my birdtrack records and I have seen one at Hogganfield before - on 12th March 1987. It was not long after I moved to Glasgow, over 38 years ago. No wonder I forgot!
