The Franklin's Gull at Crossness - found by @wobblygreen gave, well, frankly amazing views in the sun this morning. Only the second bird for London, the first being at the same spot in 2000

Really pleased to see @LondonPortAuth enforcing a foreshore clean up by contractors. Thanks for reporting @iantokelove

[Ian Tokelove @iantokelove]

Thanks to @LondonPortAuth for taking immediate enforcement action when I alerted them to the #ConvoysWharf contractors dumping countless scraps of Glass Reinforced Plastic & other #PlasticPollution into the River Thames below.

The naughty boys were made to dress up & tidy up ⬇️

[Crossness River Action Group @CrossnessG]

@iantokelove @LondonPortAuth Fantastic - really good to see enforcement and action on this
