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.

A very wet walk from Ruchazie to and round Hogganfield Loch this morning nevertheless produced some good birds in the form of Whooper Swan (but only three - I wonder if the group which has traditionally wintered at this site is dying out), Wigeon (a species I seldom record here), Gadwall (several pairs in breeding plumage) and Coot (at least 13 counted). Plants there and in Alexandra Park consisted of Primrose, Common Snowdrop and Early Crocus, all in flower.
