Today's animal from Glasgow's architecture is this fantastic owl from the Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park. I love that it's 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!

One of the more unusual animals which can be found in Glasgow's architecture is this beautifully carved, if slightly odd-looking, walrus above the door of 190 West George Street.

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.
