Half a white loaf thrown out on to the icy Forth and Clyde Canal in Maryhill, taken by David Palmar. Such supplementary feeding may save some birds from starvation in winter, but it is much better to feed them with grain, or wholemeal bread, as white bread is not good for them and can clog up their insides.
