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 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).
