To Erith Pier to look on the Thames' Foreshore for Avocets

Not that we actually expected to see an Avocet but we did see them by the Pier earlier this year viz. during January-2019.

Since the forecast Rain didn't materialise, after visiting the Post Office to send on a Packet of New Zealand Stamps, we caught the Bus to Erith and then walked along the Thames Path before turning off onto the Footpath that runs down to Crabtree Manorway North.
