Stewart Memorial Fountain

So here we have it - Mr Heron's roost = on the Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park, Glasgow. This fountain was erected to celebrate the huge water project undertaken in the 1850's, bringing fresh water from Loch Katrine to the city - the basis of our continuing water supply here in Glasgow. Well - wha'd'ya know, eh !

(Tends to be difficult getting a photo of this without a seagull on 'er 'ead !!)

You'll recognize it now !!

Cousin Heron in Dowanhill Park, Glasgow

Here's A Fine Red Herring for you - tho I've never before seen a herring with legs, wings and feathers !

This is the photo of the heron in Dowanhill Park I was sent and told you about yesterday - he is rather fine, isn't he - but he's NOT the one seeking identification in the current quiz !

Any other suggestions ?

OK - here's another clue............. (!)


Warm.......

Close - I don't know the Mr Heron of Peoples' Palace, so I shall look more thoroughly next time I'm there.

There was another suggestion by An Observer that our Mr Heron in question is in Dowanhill Park - (a picture was supplied, but I need to check if we may view him here) - and tho he looks like a very very close relative, 'tis not he of the Quiz.....

Any other suggestions ?

Woops........Sorry about that. 'Edit post' doesn't appear to want to this morning. I guess the gremlins from the souffle kitchen have now snuck over here..............

Mr Mutt likes walking here.
It is a calm place.
But it does drip rather when it is raining.
