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.

I dropped into Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park this morning while I was in the Lochwinnoch area for something else. Almost the first birds seen were two Cuckoos (presumably a pair) swooping and flying very fast around the area of the Visitor Centre.  Other good birds were five warblers in song (Willow Warbler, Blackcap, Garden Warbler, Whitethroat and Wood Warbler), Common Sandpiper and Grey Wagtail on the river, displaying Goldfinch, Siskin and Redpoll and a Carrion Crow mobbing a Buzzard overhead.
