This Is My GlasgowAnother shot of one of the frogs I came across today in the Forth and Clyde Canal in the Kelvindale area of Glasgow.

ApAlun 🏴@thisismyglasgow That is a lucky frog. I once walked the Edinburgh and Glasgow Union Canal and on the towpath I passed tens of dead frogs, apparently pecked to death by birds. Herons, perhaps?
@ApAlun Herons will generally swallow frogs whole, but crows will peck out the livers and leave the rest behind.
@ApAlun It's weird the information up pick up over the years! 🤣
@thisismyglasgow In that case the ones I saw had been attacked by crows, as the bodies were left behind but had clearly been pecked open. It was quite gruesome - there were loads of them!
Phil Betts@thisismyglasgow found this legend behind the Glasgow Uni library some 14 years ago on my way to the QMU for a bevvy. One of my favourite photos I've ever taken.
