This photo captures a sturdy concrete structure standing in the Thames River, with its pillars partly covered in green algae indicating frequent contact with water. Perched atop the structure are several birds, including at least one cormorant, drying its wings and resting. In the background, across the river, dense autumnal trees and a flood barrier obscure most of the urban sprawl, but the sleek, glassy silhouette of The Shard, one of London’s most iconic skyscrapers, rises prominently into the cloudy sky. The overall scene juxtaposes urban architecture and natural wildlife, set against the river’s murky, windswept waters.
Only two cormorants and a heron at the #Sunday meeting. Maybe not everyone remembered the clocks went back.
