Close encounters with the mute swan kind.

Great day along the Forth and Clyde canal and the kelvin walkway. Spotted a couple of kingfishers and a water rail. Also an unusual duck, I'm assuming an intersex mallard?? Clyde Birding Bird Hybrids BTO Scotland

A siskin tucking into some bird feed. They seem to be the most approachable bird in my parent's garden. #nature #wildlife RSPB #photography

Drake ring-necked duck on Maxwell pond this morning. Cracking looking bird and great to see it still going strong (presuming it's the same bird that visits every year). Clyde Birding RSPB Scotland #nature #naturep
