Birds seen on the Thames' Foreshore in the Erith area

We were rather hopeful of seeing a Rock Pipit (or even an Avocet) on the Thames' Foreshore off Corinthian Manorway (aka the 'Patch' or at least part of it): it was alas, not to be.

But we saw the following Bird' Species:

Black-Headed Gull
Black-Tailed Godwit
Grey Heron
Lesser Black-Backed Gull
Mallard
Redshank
and Teal

Bird' Species subsequently seen in the Erith Pier area:

Black-Headed Gull
Black-Tailed Godwit
Common Gull 
Cormorant
Mallard
Wood Pigeon (on the Pier itself)
and Yellow-Legged Gull 

viz. eleven Species in all…

Wild Flowers in flower included:

Bristly Oxtongue
Buddleia
Redshank
Sea Aster viz.


Shepherd's-Purse
and Sow-Thistle

And it is time to start paying more attention Lichens and Mosses again viz.



Shipping-Wise: General Cargo Vessel. 'Lisa', was moored at Conway's Berth and Tug, 'Felix', was chuntering upstream viz.
