My associate advises me of a new clutch of seven #TuftedDuck #ducklings at the Boating Lake at Ally Park, apparently seen around first a few days back @FriendsAllyPark
A few days later, 4 out of 7 #Tufted_Duck ducklings remain. They're alive and well, though, and already qualified free-divers.

That ducklin' free-divin'!
First time this morning that we encounter this late clutch of eight #Mallard #ducklings at the Boating Lake at Ally Park @FriendsAllyPark @AllyPallyWatch @birdingetc
6 days later, 2 #Mallard #ducklings lost to the cosmos. Among the 6 remaining, the 1 whose down is quite more yellow than the rest of siblings'. At the Boating Lake in Alexandra Park @FriendsAllyPark
These 6 #Mallard #ducklings keep on getting bigger. I think they must be 3 weeks old or so by now.
@birdingetc: is the more yellow duckling a sign of hybrid wild/domestic breeding?

Another glorious sunny day here in Glasgow. We’re sure many of you are planning a trip to your local park, perhaps meeting up with friends or family for the first time in a while. So this week’s #glasgowbuildingoftheweek is a bit different...it’s not a building, it’s a fountain!
The Saracen Fountain in Alexandra Park, Dennistoun, was designed by David Watson Stevenson and manufactured by Walter Macfarlane & Co. at their Saracen foundry. It was commissioned as Macfarlane’s principal exhibit at the International Exhibition at Kelvingrove Park in 1901.
Macfarlane’s then gifted the fountain to the city and it was relocated to th Park in 1914. It stands 40ft tall. It’s central tower is based on the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens. There are 4 seated figures on the pedestals around the base. (glasgowsculpture.com)
