It's always a pleasure to see a swan, especially on a cold, dark, blustery day by the canal. The rugby folk were setting up behind me for the Heinekin Cuptie between Glasgow Warriors and Saracens at Firhill Stadium, but I was far more interested in what lay at the waterside. The Firhill Basin is an excellent sanctuary for water birds, a place to fart about, rest up, train the 'young-uns'..........It's just a pity there wasn't a little more light.

Ah, I do like a swan. I used to like walking up the canal in the other direction, towards the locks in Maryhill. Lots of birds that way too.
I am near a canal in London and get to see swans most mornings from the train window on the way to work - always strangely soothing.
I've never actually been to the locks in Maryhill. One day I'll take a wee trundle up. I'm more likely to be seen floating about Port Dundas.
