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.

Lochwinnoch was wet and windy this morning but a walk around produced all the common village birds. I checked on the patch of Rustyback Fern on the gable end of a building in Calderhaugh Lane. Unfortunately it is now quite small and may not last much longer, especially as the building itself seems to be crumbling away. I checked lots of suitable-looking walls around the village but was unable to find any other sites supporting the species. Back home, I found my first frogspawn of the year in the nature pond in Queen's Park.
