Merganser Family on the River Severn in Shrewsbury…

There are only seven ducklings in this photo, but the PiP shows the female merganser with her nine ducklings. The group were quite far away in the river and swimming rapidly, the light wasn't very good, so consequently the photos aren't as sharp as I would like.
We saw a pair of merganser here on the Severn earlier in the year, but this is the first time we have seen ducklings.

Longannet Power station

At the time of opening in the early 1970s Longannet was the largest power station in Europe with a capacity of 2,400 MW. Designed by Scottish architects Robert Matthew, Johnson Marshall & Partners, construction began in 1965 on land reclaimed from the Firth of Forth using ash from the Kincardine power station. The first electricity was generated in 1970 and the station was running at full capacity by 1973 once construction of all units was complete.
In 2003 Longannet was identified as Scotland’s largest source of pollution. The power station closed in 2016 after 46 years of producing electricity. The closure marked the end of coal-fired generation in Scotland.
