Kingfisher on the River Kelvin in Glasgow. These are both of the same adult male Kingfisher. Another one, a juvenile, was around nearby shortly after this. #birds

Two Carrion Crows sit on metalwork above a large valve or pump. The background is an unnatural orange colour, from a block of flats in the background.

There are Kingfishers to be seen all over and around Glasgow. In the last 10 days i've seen them on the Clyde at Dalmarnock, the Cart at Spean St, the canal at Kelvindale and of course our fairly regular reliable male on the Kelvin below the Botanic Gardens. #birds
