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 managed to escape the Christmas shopping and go for a walk along the burn behind the Silverburn centre. Best birds were a Grey Wagtail, three Pied Wagtails and single pairs of Mallard and Moorhen.

Quite a long walk from the centre of Glasgow to Queen's Park via Richmond and Malls Mire Parks produced a good bird list of 40 species. Highlight was a Kingfisher flying along the Clyde.
