Herons

 As I walked by the Thames yesterday I spotted 3 grey herons.




This is the North bank of the River Thames near the old East India dock. The tide was out and the heron was not disturbed by people walking on the Thames Path. It probably knew we couldn't access the shoreline. Across the river is the O2 arena at Greenwich Peninsula. 
Not too far away is Bow Creek which flows into the river Thames with the buildings of Canning Town in the background. Two herons were hoping to catch something for lunch.
 

 



A not very good close up of the grey heron. They are a common sight in London these days.

    Do the herons move around, depending on the seasons? I have never seen one.

    The presence of herons presumably means that the river is clean enough to sustain edible life.
