As they say, nice weather for ducks, although possibly not for this one as it's a wee bit far from home. A native of North America, this rather striking male ring-necked duck was on the pond in Victoria Park in Glasgow yesterday.

In addition, if you look very carefully at the right hand side, just below the glazed section, you can see the small tap which would have been turned on to let the gas flow through to the mantle before it was lit. This would have been done each night by one of Glasgow's army of leeries or lamplighters. They'd then return in the morning to turn off the tap, so extinguishing the flame.
A former gas lamp (now converted to an electric one) on North Gate to Victoria Park in the west of Glasgow. It's one of a pair created, along with the rest of the gate, in 1887, by Walter MacFarlane's Saracen Foundry. You can tell it was originally a gas lamp because it has an open base and a vented cap at the top (needed to allow oxygen in to feed the flame).

A cast iron clock in Victoria Park in Glasgow. Created by Alexander and Son, it donated by William Gordon Oswald in 1888 for use in what was then a new park. The park itself was laid out in 1886 on land gifted to the Burgh of Partick by William's father, James Gordon Oswald of Scotstoun.

Today in Victoria Park in Glasgow, with the main avenue looking wonderfully autumnal.
One of the nice things about #VictoriaPark is that the #curlews are relatively tolerant of humans and you can get quite close.
