A short walk around Queen's Park this afternoon turned up all the regular species plus two each of Chiffchaff and Blackcap (all in song). Prior to all this, an Oystercatcher called a few times in the wee small hours (about 02:00).
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.
