Back on the patch...

It's been a slow time of late in Rotherhithe, briefly punctuated by this 1st-summer Yellow-legged Gull at Greenland Pier on Sunday. Not too regular this time of year in London, certainly not on the inner part of the Thames that I live on. Quite a smart bird to boot too.

The storm earlier this week unfortunately whacked out the Great-crested Grebe nest on the south side of Greenland Dock, though a check this evening of Inner London's only breeding Common Terns was more encouraging - the two pairs still on their islands on Surrey Water.
