Oh, MY!!!!!Impressive looking fountain, are they walruses?
Aha!!!! I didn't know that!!!Yes I know somebody who had one, an African pygmy species. Not a good pet really, spiky, nocturnal and smelly!
That's SO nerve-wracking!!!!There are blackbirds nest building in a bush the other side of our fence.
Unfortunately, a cat has found it already and was stood on the fence peering in. It's a ginger menace that regularly takes wood pigeons from the lawn.
I think the blackbirds need a different nest site![]()
I'm not volunteering. I LOATHE ironing !... my forehead needs ironing
From WikipediaOh, MY!!!!!It DOES look like a walrus!!!!!
In the centre of the park an ornate fountain was constructed. The A listed fountain consists of dolphins, herons, cherubs and walruses.
George Smith and Company of the Sun Foundry in Glasgow constructed the fountain in 1868. Stained-glass artist and designer Daniel Cottier was enlisted to paint and colour the monument.
A statue of Robert Burns was erected in the gardens in 1896. It is sited adjacent to the fountain. It was constructed by Frederick William Pomeroy.
