A walk.

 There's another bait article up in todays Mail about women watching pron and the so called harm, and I can't be bothered to respond.

Instead I went for a walk down by the river, instead. To tell the truth, its been about 4 months or so since I've been down there, It's a small stretch of the Thames from Firepower down towards Thamesmead, with options to walk past Crossness power station down towards Erith for the adventurous. 

There is quite a lot to watch along the way, if the tide is out you can see a variety of gulls such as Black Headed gulls, Herring Bull (aka Chip thief or Bully Gull) and the occasional Black backed gull. You may get some Mallards in the wooded bit as well as Shelduck and Teal. Today we saw some Mute Swans but I've also seen Cormorant, especially along by the Jetty at Erith.

There's quite a bit of cover even though a grass fire had ripped through a swathe of the river front, it still has quite a stand of Hawthorn and other small trees. There is some Sea Aster in flower as its getting on for autumn now, and we managed to disturb a Ring Neck Parakeet from the bush.

For once we managed to pick the right exit so we came out near the bus stop by the baths for the bus home.
