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.

The sun broke through this morning as I was paying a brief visit to RSPB Lochwinnoch. The Redshanks I had hoped to see were absent but at least four pairs of Shoveler plus the pre-breeding antics of Lapwings, Black-headed Gulls, Common Gulls and Canada Geese all made for an interesting time. In the afternoon I took my usual Thursday walk around one of my home squares of Pollokshaws. Highlights were botanical in the form of Fritillary, Cowslip, Wild Daffodil and Coltsfoot all flowering on a wide, grassy verge. Newly-flowering Cuckooflower and Opposite-leaved Golden-saxifrage were nearby.
