Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this fantastic owl from the Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park. I love that its depicted with an item of prey clasped in its beak. The relief sculpture of a heron catching an eel in the background is pretty good too!

The Owl on the Staircase, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in Glasgow.

I love this little owl which stands guard on the handrails of one of the staircases. It always reminds me of the work of Francois Pompon, one of my favourite sculptors.
